CAUTION:
• For ordinary use, you do not need to change the values set in the property files of a Device
Manager server.
Use extreme caution when you are modifying the values, because you can cause the server to fail
or to function incorrectly. Do not modify the values unless you have sufficient expertise.
• The default values are set during a new installation.
If you perform an overwrite or upgrade installation, values set in the property files of a Device
Manager server before the installation are inherited.
• If two or more entries in a property file have the same property name, the last entry will take effect.
• If you modify a property file for the Device Manager server, you must restart the P9000 Command
View AE Suite product services for the changes to take effect.
The property files for the Device Manager server are in Java property file format, and can be edited
by using a text editor. Each property directive consists of a name-value pair separated by the equal
sign (for example, foo.bar=12345). The appropriate end-of-line terminator, as defined by the
operating system, delineates individual properties.
Comments in Device Manager property files are tagged using a hash mark (#) at the start of a line.
Literals (text strings or numeric values) do not need to be quoted. Boolean values can be either true
or false (case insensitive). Any other setting (for example, yes) is interpreted as false.
The backslash (\) is a reserved character in Java property files, and is used for escaping various
control characters such as tabs, line-feeds, and so on. On Windows platforms, absolute pathnames
typically contain backslash characters, and must be backslash-escaped.
For example, the file pathname C:\CVXPAE\docroot\foo.bar should be entered as C:\\CVXPAE\
\docroot\\foo.bar. There is generally no need to backslash-escape any other characters in the
property directives.
