Editing existing files

If an administrator override configuration file already exists and is currently being accessed by users, we recommend the following as the safest editing method:

  1. Copy the current administrator override configuration file and rename it.
  2. Change the R/O attribute (if set) to R/W so that the changes you make can be saved.
  3. From the Rumba APPC Configuration tool menu bar, select Open. Select the configuration file.
  4. Make the changes you want.
  5. Save the file.
  6. Once you are confident that you have a working configuration file, replace the existing administrator override configuration file with the new one.
Note: Change the administration override configuration file’s attributes to R/O. This will prevent a user from accidentally corrupting the file.
