Modifying the Configuration Files
The following configuration files come with SoftBench CM and are
usually maintained by the SoftBench CM administrator. However, each
SoftBench CM user can configure the default .fmrc file. The server reads
and acknowledges modifications to these files every 30 seconds. The
system writes a record to the /var/opt/softbench/cm/msglog file
every time it reads a configuration file.
The server configuration files can exist in two different directories on
your server:
• /opt/softbench/config
When SoftBench CM is installed on your server, SoftBench CM places
the configuration files in this directory. The contents of the files in
this directory provide global configuration of your SoftBench CM
environment. All machines are configured according to the settings in
these files.
• /etc/opt/softbench/config
To configure a specific system differently from the global
configuration, you can copy the configuration files into this directory
and make the changes you want. The contents of the files in this
directory only affect the system on which they reside.
SoftBench CM looks in both directories for the configuration files, but
only uses one. The contents of the files found in the
