DimCM Configuration

Configuring a Dimensions CM server to emit ALF events so that Cosmo knows about new changesets in the repository:

$DM_ROOT/dm.cfg is where you set up customizations to a Dimensions CM server. This file has lines of format “<symbol-name><whitespace><value>”. In this file you want to change the symbol “DM_ALF_ENDPOINT” to a URL like “http://cosmoserver.example.com:8080/cosmo/services/soap/alf”.

$DM_ROOT/dfs/alf_events_config.xml allows you to filter what events are emitted to the ALF endpoints. This is an XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
