Build Forge configuration file (buildforge.conf)

The buildforge.conf file is the Build Forge product configuration file. It contains configuration settings that are used by different Build Forge components to start up and communicate with the Build Forge database.

The buildforge.conf file is stored in two locations and must be updated in both locations, if you need to modify it after installation. See Updating the buildforge.conf file.
  • In the jas.war file used by the application server, also called the services layer.
