Configuring the Discoverer

Configuring dbsat.config

The settings in the configuration file determine the behavior of the Discoverer.

To configure the Discoverer, do the following:

Access the directory where DBSAT is installed.
Navigate to the Discover/conf directory. Make a copy of the sample_dbsat.config file and rename the file to match your site–specific requirements.
For example, you can rename the file to custom_dbsat.config.
Note: Creating a duplicate file ensures that your custom settings are not overwritten during reinstallation.
Open custom_dbsat.config. The following are the contents of the configuration file:
