configuration file

An Extensible Markup Language (XML) file containing the parameters and settings used to set run-time values in a program environment. For example, Actuate products use the following configuration files:

1  
In e.Report Designer Professional, a user-defined file that stores connection information for data sources and location information for component libraries and Actuate Basic source (.bas) files.
2  
In open data access (ODA) for e.Report Designer Professional, a file that specifies the ODA version of the driver and defines the contents, semantics, and structure of requests and responses between the custom data source and e.Report Designer Professional or Actuate BIRT iServer.
3  
In Actuate Analytics option, BIRT, BIRT Information Designer, and BIRT Spreadsheet Designer, a user-defined file that specifies data source connection settings for a report or information object. The settings in a configuration file override the settings in a report executable file located in an Encyclopedia volume.
