Setting Up SDX Configuration Editor

SDX Configuration Editor is an XML-based GUI that enables you to configure several SDX components. Currently, you can configure SAE parameters that are stored in the directory and NIC parameters used by portals and Web applications. SDX Configuration Editor is a plug-in to the Eclipse platform (http://www.eclipse.org) and presents .xml property files as forms in which you edit related groups of configuration elements.

Starting SDX Configuration Editor

1. On the SAE host, log in as root or as an authorized nonroot admin user.
2. Launch SDX Configuration Editor from the SAE installation directory.

/opt/UMC/sysconf/sysconf

The SDX Configuration window appears.
