Appendix A: The Server Configuration File

During installation, you may want to make configuration changes that determine the behavior of Longview Data Server. Typically, you configure your Data Server using Longview Server Manager; however, because you have not yet installed Longview client components, you must use the manual configuration file provided by Longview.

Note: You may need to revisit the manual configuration file during implementation or during regular system maintenance.

For information on recommended configuration settings, see Updating the Longview Data Server Configuration File.

To configure your Longview Data Server:

  1. Navigate to your server machine Data Server working directory. For example, E:\Longview\DataServers\LongviewDEV.
  2. Copy the existing lvsrvr.cfg file and save it with a new name.
  3. Open the lvsrvr.cfg file in your preferred text editor.

    Caution: Incorrectly modifying some parameters may result in not being able to start your server or may prevent features from functioning. Use with caution.

  4. Review the parameters.

The following tables list the parameters in the configuration file. The Mapped UI Option in Longview Server Manager column in the tables identifies the parameters that you can also configure via the Server configuration page of Longview Server Manager. For those parameters, see Server Configuration for detailed explanation about its usage.
