Configuration

You can find the menu option d.ecs storage manager administration under Start > Programs > d.velop > d.ecs storage manager.

With this menu item you start the configuration mask of d.ecs storage manager.

The program automatically searches for existing configurations on start, selects the first one as the default and loads its settings. If no configuration exists yet, the program prompts for a name of a new configuration to be created. Then, the following dialog is displayed:

Note

The individual configurations / configuration files for storage drivers are written to the sub-directory configs in the application directory of d.ecs storage manager by default.

Backup copies of the configuration files should be generated after finishing the configuration to be prepared if the files got lost or were accidentally overwritten.

To use a different directory you have to provide the path when starting the configuration tool. This is important, if you need to configure multiple instances of the d.ecs storage manager for different archives.

By specifying the different directories, the configuration files of the different instances are separated from each other and faulty configurations are prevented. This can, for example, happen if the configurations of the different instances are stored in the same directory and system names are used more than once in the configurations.

Warning

During configuration, folders may need to be created and specified accordingly. An example of this is the log folder for database logging. These folders and also other folders or files must not be created in the program directory of d.ecs storage manager. During an update, these files and folders are removed from the program directory. The directory "configs" is the only directory that is taken over during an update.

Warning

After a change in the configuration d.ecs storage manager must be restarted.
