2.5 CONFIGURING WEB VIEWPOINT (POST INSTALLATION TASKS)
When you run STRTWVP, the Web Server basically starts two instances of Web ViewPoint using the WVPCONF and
LITECONF configuration files and their associated assigns.
The WVPCONF configuration file has a Menu File (via the ASSIGN MENUFILE) for the menu definitions needed to
build the menu in the Web ViewPoint IE browser screen. For WVPLITE, there is no corresponding menu file. The
menu information is hard-coded.
Although there are 2 main configuration files used by STRTWVP, there are 5 configuration files included with the
product of which 3 are extensions of WPVCONF.
 WVPCONF
WVPMENU
COLLCONF
PECONF
 LITECONF
