Problem:

RM/COBOL can load a configuration file, automatically, when it is executed.  This functionality is, also, available in the Xcentrisity BIS product.

Resolution:

Xcentrisity Business Information Server allows you to automatically load a configuration file when a service program is executed. The configuration file has to be located in the BIS execution directory and has to have a specific name. 

To become effective, however, you must restart the BIS Service Engine. Since the commands used to start, stop, and restart BIS differ from OS to OS, please refer to the BIS Users Guide for detailed instructions on how to do this for your platform.

UNIX Apache BIS:

Default execution directory : /usr/local/liant/bis/bin/
Automatic configuration file name: "xbisengd.cfg"

Windows IIS BIS:

Default execution directory (for version 12): Program_Files_Dir\\Liant\\BISv12

Automatic configuration file name: "xbisse.cfg"

*An automatic configuration file, when found, is processed prior to any configuration file specified with the "-c" parameter in the {StartService} tag.

**You can obtain trace information regarding the success or failure to locate the automatic configuration file by using the "-v" parameter in the {StartService} tag.
