File Formats

CFG/CONF File Format

The CFG/CONF file format is a plain-text format. The CFG format is for use on Microsoft Windows systems, and the CONF format on UNIX systems.

Both formats support only the import and export of string options. Other types of configuration options are ignored and not imported or exported.

Syntax

The syntax of the .cfg and .conf files is identical. Each section and option appears on a separate line, with section names in square brackets. Each section is followed by a list of options in that section, with the appropriate values:

[section_name1]
option-name1=option_value2
...
option_nameN=option_valueN

[section_name2]
option-nameN+1=option_valueN+1
...

Example

The following excerpt from a configuration file illustrates the correct syntax in a .cfg or .conf file:

[confserv]
port=2520
management-port=2521
server=dbserver
encryption=false
encoding=utf-8

[log]
verbose=standard
all=stderr

[hca]
schema=none
