Client Configuration File

This xml formatted file and each of it's parameters are optional, however if there is an xml syntax error within the file it usually results in the application or service failing to start.

The client configuration file is NOT encrypted.

Edit

File Location

The ClientConfig.xml file is located in the AutomationEngine directory within the Common Program Data Folder, on a computer having any of the application installed.

  • Windows Vista path example: C:\ProgramData\AutomationEngine\ClientConfig.xml
  • Windows XP path example: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AutomationEngine\ClientConfig.xml

Edit

Default Values

A default value is used when the associated parameter (xml element) is not specified in the file or when the file does not exist.

MasterServerHostName: localhost
LoggingVerbosity: Normal
WebServerRootDirectoryPath: %CommonApplicationData%\AutomationEngine\WebSite
WebServerPort: 80

Edit

  • Quiet : Nothing will be logged.
  • Minimal : Errors and Fatal events will be logged.
  • Normal : Warnings, Errors, and Fatal events will be logged.
  • Detailed : System Messages, Warnings, Errors, and Fatal events will be logged.
