About the configuration files
This section describes the configuration files used by the applications in the BIRT Analytics system. The administrator edits these configuration files to adjust an application to the requirements of a production environment.
BIRT Analytics runs on Windows, LINUX or MAC systems, running as a service on Windows and as either a service or a process on LINUX or MAC.
The following BIRT Analytics applications run as web applications on an Apache Tomcat server.
*BIRT Analytics Application
*BIRT Analytics Administration
*BIRT Analytics Client
*BIRT Analytics Loader
All of these web applications (except BIRT Analytics Application) provide a user interface as webpages. Each application that has webpages uses an additional configuration file to set the appearance of those pages.
Additional files contain configuration settings for BIRT Analytics connectors, such as the BIRT Analytics REST API, and BIRT Analytics FastDB.
