Status Information XML File Printout

In addition to using web-based methods to access status file information, data that is contained in this file can also be accessed by external programs or scripts. The file resembles the following:

Configuration File

The structure of the config.ini file is as follows.

Section Name	Parameter Name	Description
Log	filterLevel	Type default or debug. When debug is specified, detailed logging is enabled.
	rotateSizeMB	Specifies the size of each log file. The Store and Forward server can store the log information in several log files.
	rotationFileCount	Specifies the number of log files to keep. When the parameter value is reached, the oldest log file is discarded.
[BaseDirectories]	dataDir	Specifies the location of the data directory. Normally, it is not necessary to modify this setting because it is configured automatically by the installer.
	incomingDir	Specifies the location of the Incoming directory. Normally, it is not necessary to modify this setting, as it is configured automatically by the installer.
[Channels]	channelX	Specifies the name for each channel. Channel names are used to name the top level directory of the Store and Forward server. The corresponding physical directory is created under the Incoming directory of the Store and Forward server.
[UpstreamProviders]	providerX	Specifies the URLs for upstream Store and Forward servers. The URL should include the HTTP username and password required to access the URL. When the HTTPS protocol is used, the host name of the Store and Forward server supplied in this URL must match the host name given during the installation of that Store and Forward server, as this host name is encoded in the HTTPS certificate. When configuring a Store and Forward server that is installed together with the Data Flow Probe, use the following configuration: This key specifies the full path to a local directory. In this case, the received file is copied to that directory, or moved if the channel is mapped to only one upstream provider. The only provider that is listed should be the incoming directory of the XML Enricher, as all files received by this Store and Forward server will be moved automatically to the Incoming directory of the XML Enricher.
[ChannelMapping]	channelX	Specifies how the files arriving to this channel will be forwarded. One or more upstream Store and Forward servers from the [UpstreamProviders] section should be specified. Multiple servers are separated with commas.
[StatusPage]	updateFrequencyMins	Specifies how frequently (in minutes) the status page is updated. The default is 20. If the setting is set to 0, the status page is not updated.

Sample Configuration File

The following is a sample config.ini file that has two upstream Store and Forward servers configured, two channels, and three providers:
