Configuration Properties File

Configuration Properties File

The Database Download Manager reads configuration information from the
config.properties
file. The Database Download Manager reads the file to set the default download options when you log in to the Database Download Manager client. The file also sets the options that the Database Download Manager uses when you download data on the command line. You can update the options in the client and on the command line before you download data.
The Database Download Manager searches for the
config.properties
file when you log in to the client. If the Database Download Manager cannot find a copy of the file, it creates the file. Whenever you update the settings in the client application, you update the associated properties in the file. You also update the file properties when you download data on the command line with a
-Remember
option of
yes
. You can update the file properties in a text editor at any time.
The Database Download Manager applies an AND relationship to the file properties. By default, the Database Download Manager downloads the files that meet all of the criteria that the properties specify.
