Compiling a SALT configuration file means generating a binary version of the file (SALTCONFIG) from the XML version SALTDEPLOY file. To compile a configuration file, run the wsloadcf command. wsloadcf parses a deployment file and loads the binary file.

wsloadcf reads a deployment file and all imported WSDF files and WS-Policy files referenced in the deployment file, checks the syntax according to the XML schema of each file format, and optionally loads a binary configuration file called SALTCONFIG. The SALTCONFIG and (optionally) SALTOFFSET environment variables point to the SALTCONFIG file and (optional) offset where the information should be stored.

wsloadcf validates the given SALT configuration files according to the predefined XML Schema files. XML Schema files needed by SALT can be found at directory: $TUXDIR/udataobj/salt.

wsloadcf can execute for validating purpose only without generating the binary version SALTCONFIG once option “-n” is specified.
