9.6 Creating and Resetting the Configuration
The first time that SEA is started on a system, a warning similar to the following is written to the Director log file. (See the WEBES Installation Guide and Section 2.5 of this guide for more information on log files.)
___.WARNING on February 1, 2001 11:23:35 AM MST (0.023 sec elapsed)Configuration file /usr/opt/hp/svctools/desta/config/Configuration.dat not found, creating it.Current Thread[main,5,main]This warning is expected and correct. The Configuration.dat file is created based on the contents of the ConfigDefaults*.txt file in the svctools/specific/desta/config directory. (The warning example shown is for a Tru64 UNIX system.) The classes named in those files will enroll themselves into the configuration, which is then saved as Configuration.dat, a binary file that should not be edited directly. Changes made from the web interface are saved in this file by the Director. This warning should not appear on subsequent starts of the Director.
If the configuration becomes damaged, or you wish to return to the default configuration state (the configuration when SEA was first started), make sure no SEA or WEBES processes are running (including the Director process), and delete the Configuration.dat file. When you restart SEA, the file will be recreated with the standard defaults, using ConfigDefaults*.txt the same way it was first time SEA was started.
