7BConfiguration Parameters
You can configure settings for MDM Console, MDM Servers, MDM
repositories, and the underlying DBMS server.
CONSOLE SETTINGS
These settings include those that define the graphic layout of your MDM
Console main window, which are stored in the Windows registry, and
the list of mounted MDM Servers, which are saved in an MDM Console
Settings (.mcs) file and can be loaded from the File menu or on startup
(see “MDM Console Settings File” on page 38).
MDM SERVER SETTINGS
These settings determine how the MDM Server behaves on the
machine on which it is installed, independent of the MDM Console on
which it is mounted and any DBMS Servers that hold the MDM
repository information. They will be the same for this MDM Server
regardless of which machine is running MDM Console and which
repository is mounted or loaded. The settings are stored in an operating
system independent file (rather than the Windows registry) named
mds.ini, stored in the directory where the MDM Server executable is
located. Following installation, and on an occasional basis, you may
need to edit this file (see “MDS Configuration on page 216”).
