Configuration Files that Support the Access Component

This topic explains how a number of configuration files provide information necessary to support the Access component for WebZ and Record Builder. For information about the Access component and the elements that comprise it, see Access Component Overview.


Document Conventions

  • <WebZ_root> refers to the location of your WebZ environment.
  • Configuration files with "_rb" in their names are Record Builder configuration files. They are analogous to WebZ configuration files with the same name except for the "_rb". The Record Builder configuration files contain configuration data for an environment that includes both WebZ and Record Builder or are files specific to Record Builder.

Related Configuration Files

This table lists the configuration files that support the Access component for WebZ and Record Builder.

<WebZ_root>/ini/
     OpServe.ini
     OpServe_rb.ini

[ServerType] Contains list of all servers in the system, including JaSSI, ZBase, Access and, in OpServe_rb.ini, JaSSIRB, ZBaseRB, and AccessRB.
[servername] Contains load balancing information for each server defined in the [ServerType] section of the file.

[hostnservername]
(StartSection)

Contains information for starting each type of server.
<WebZ_root>/ini/
    JaSSIServer.ini
    JaSSIServer_rb.ini
[ServerManager] Contains list of all servers in the system that JaSSI or JaSSIRB communicates with to perform its functions, including Access and, in JaSSIServer_rb.ini, AccessRB.
[Access]
[AccessRB]
Defines the server configuration file and server initialization class for the Access server(s).

[InterfaceStyles]

Defines each interface style and the configuration file that contains information for the style. For WebZ, you can use the style name in the style column of the authos table of the accessdb database to associate an autho with a particular interface style.

<WebZ_root>/ini/
    ZBaseServer.ini
    ZBaseServer_rb.ini

[AccessServer] Defines the server configuration file and server initialization class for the Access server(s).

<WebZ_root>/ini/
    AccessServer.ini

    AccessServer_rb.ini

Configuration file for the Access Server (AccessServer for WebZ and AccessServerRB for Record Builder). In addition to operating information for the server, it specifies the JDBC SQL driver, database tables, the purpose of specific columns in the databases, and the attributes used to link the tables to one another.

<WebZ_root>/ini/servers/
    Access.ini
    
Access_rb.ini

Configuration file for the JaSSI and ZBase Access clients (JaSSI and ZBase for WebZ; JaSSIRB and ZBaseRB for Record Builder). Includes variables for specifying the basis for authorization (autho/password, Internet Protocol (IP) address, or Domain Name Server (DNS) and the name of the Access clients.

Note: For sites with UNIX systems that use the mSQL database for storing authorization data, another important configuration file is <WebZ_root>/msql/msql.conf. This file is normally properly configured when you install WebZ.
