Chapter 8: CCI.INI - The CCI Configuration File

8.1 CCI.INI Configuration Options

8.1.1 What is the CCI.INI file?

The CCI.INI file is used to specify selective configuration options for all or some CCI modules installed on a system. The contents of the CCI.INI file will vary from system to system in a network, depending upon the requirements for tuning each individual system.

8.1.2 Where to locate CCI.INI

CCI.INI may be located in a number of locations for testing and deployment. On Windows systems of all types the Windows root directory is a good location as it is visible from all applications. There may be configuration sections for more than one CCI protocol module in any CCI.INI file so care is required when choosing the location for a CCI.INI file.

If the user only wants to affect a behavior of a single application, rather than affecting every application on the system, the CCI.INI file containing the CCIIPX entries may be located in the current directory where the application is being run from.

8.1.3 The format of CCI.INI

CCI.INI is a plain text file, which may be edited or created by any text editor. A CCI.INI file may look like this:-
