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.
