settings.xml

Learn about configuration of settings.xml for preparing Aurea CRM Server.

Aurea CRM web's settings.xml file contains the connection string to the CRM.designer database:

<update.configuration>
    <OleDbDsn>&designerDsn;</OleDbDsn>
    <Vertical>&VERTICAL;</Vertical>
</update.configuration>

Since offline clients do not read their CRM.designer configurations from a CRM.designer database but from (read-only) local XML files (*. gz), the < OleDbDsn > tag in the client's settings.xml must be disabled.

The location of the local configuration files is defined by the < XmlStoragePath > tag instead:

<update.configuration>
    <!-- <OleDbDsn>&designerDsn;</OleDbDsn> -->
    <Vertical>&VERTICAL;</Vertical>
    <XmlStoragePath>c:\Program Files\update.CRM\Aurea CRM web offline BTB\web\data\offline\configuration</XmlStoragePath>
</update.configuration>

Note: The path must be absolute in order to be found by CRM.launcher.

These changes are performed during setup. < XmlStoragePath > is set based on the value of InstallDir specified in the SilentClient.ini.
