Server Profile Management and Issues

Normally server definitions are stored in a file named VF_Sy001_Servers.XML that resides in the execute directory of the associated LANSA partition.

Some important facts about server definitions:

• You can change the name of the server's definition file to something else.

• You should never alter the content of the XML file with anything other than through the Framework. 

• In the partition execute directory files named VF_Sy001_Servers_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.XML may be found. These represent server definition versions that were saved at the time specified in their names. You can use these to back out unwanted server definition changes. You should, from time to time, delete old saved versions.

• You do not have to use the shipped server management facilities. Not using them does not preclude your application from using multiple servers and normal LANSA SuperServer facilities.
