Configurations
When you create a repository registration, you assign the registration to a configuration source:
Configuration sources and dependencies
When you assign a registration to a configuration source, you specify, for which applications the settings of the repository databases are used. These configuration types are available:
- The user-dependant configuration
- The computer configuration
- The enterprise configuration
- The service configuration
The accessibility and the scope of the configuration result from the saving location of the configuration file CommonObjectStore.config.
Log settings are also differentiated by user-dependant and computer configuration:
| Configuration Type | Description |
|---|---|
| User-dependant configuration | Repository data and log settings of this
configuration are valid for the user who is logged on. They are used by client
applications, which are not contained in the list of the computer processes.
See Computer processes. If an older version of the CommonObjectStore.Config file is found during installation, the storage location of this file is used. The location of the file CommonObjectStore.Config prior Infor PM 10: ..\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\MIS\DWCore\5.0. In a reinstallation of Infor PM 10 the storage location of the CommonObjectStore.Config file is: ..\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Infor\PM\DWCore. The user-dependant configuration may depend on the computer or on the enterprise configurations. |
| Computer configuration | Repository data and log settings of
registrations of this configuration are used for user-independent system
services. For example, server settings may be changed by users who are logged
on to the computer and who have the required rights for the repository. You
specify the applications which access the repository by the computer
configuration in a process list, for example, new services or servers.
See Computer processes. If an older version of the CommonObjectStore.Config file is found during installation, the storage location of this file is used. The location of the file CommonObjectStore.Config prior Infor PM 10: ..\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\MIS\DWCore\5.0. In a reinstallation of Infor PM 10 the storage location of the CommonObjectStore.Config file is: ..\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\Infor\PM\DWCore. The computer configuration may depend on enterprise configurations. |
| Enterprise configuration | You can integrate configurations that are
located in a network folder, or create configurations in a network folder. The
repository data of the registrations of an enterprise configuration are used,
if a user-dependent or computer configuration refers to the configuration.
See Dependencies between configurations. Enterprise configurations may depend on other enterprise configurations. |
| Service configuration | The Repository Registration Service is a source of repository registrations that is similar to Enterprise configurations, but can also be used in multi-tenant environments. |
