Activating the configuration updates

You must activate the updates that you make in the configuration settings by using the configdc command. The activation ensures that your updates are saved to the dotNetConfig.properties file.

About this task

When you update the configuration settings by using the configdc command, the parameter values are updated in the dotNetConfig.properties file. However, if this file is being used and cannot be modified, your configuration setting updates are saved in the dotNetDcConfig.properties.inactive file. You must activate the configuration so that the updates are saved in the dotNetConfig.properties file.
