Reconfigure External Extract File Utility (EEFReconfigure.exe)

The Reconfigure External Extract File utility (EEFReconfigure.exe) can be used at runtime to view, delete, or change the configuration properties of an external extract file. This utility stores the configuration details in the _Config table of the runtime database. The _Config table is created when you first deploy an AB Suite system.

The configuration details stored in the _Config table take precedence over those set in the model. Therefore, after deploying the runtime application, you can use the Reconfigure utility to modify the configuration details with which the system was originally generated. This allows a system to be deployed using the Runtime Transfer and any external extract files within the system to be reconfigured and connected to different external host and host packs.

You can modify configuration details, such as the external host, the user id and the password required to access the host server and host pack details, including equipment type and removal pack ids.

This utility is available in the CD Runtime\Windows Runtime\Runtime Utilities\EEFReconfigure folder of the Agile Business Suite 7.0 Installation CD. You can invoke the utility from a command line.

Note: You must have local administrator privileges to use EEFReconfigure.exe.

The EEFReconfigure utility requires a set of command line arguments for each of the following options:

Note: An error message appears if you do not specify the required command line arguments for an option. All error messages are available in the system.log file.
