Modifying the Configuration Files
The following configuration files come with SoftBench CM and are
usually maintained by the SoftBench CM administrator. However, each
SoftBench CM user can configure the default .fmrc file. The server reads
and acknowledges modifications to these files every 30 seconds. The
system writes a record to the /var/opt/softbench/cm/msglog file
every time it reads a configuration file.
The server configuration files can exist in two different directories on
your server:
• /opt/softbench/config When SoftBench CM is installed on your
server, SoftBench CM places the configuration files in this directory.
The contents of the files in this directory provide global configuration
of your SoftBench CM environment. All machines are configured
according to the settings in these files.
• /etc/opt/softbench/config To configure a specific system
differently from the global configuration, you can copy the
configuration files into this directory and make the changes you want.
The contents of the files in this directory only affect the system on
which they reside.
SoftBench CM looks in both directories for the configuration files, but
only uses one. The contents of the files found in the
/etc/opt/softbench/config directory override the contents of the files
found in /opt/softbench/config directory. Comment lines in these files
