Creating configuration files
Progress Dynamics uses a number of configuration files that you can customize for different sessions. Before starting the tutorial, you should create copies of these files in your <wrk>\Tutorial directory, where <wrk> is your Progress Dynamics working directory. You can then modify these files to customize the framework for your tutorial session, without affecting your installed version of Progress Dynamics.
icfconfig.xml
The icfconfig.xml configuration file tells the framework how to start and run individual sessions, including which managers to start, which startup procedures or objects to use, and other session characteristics. Since the configuration file uses logical and relative paths, the copy that you use to start the tutorial session should be in the same directory structure where your tutorial Repository and application database are stored.
Later in the tutorial, you customize the icfconfig.xml file by creating a session type for running the sample application. For now, the standard configuration file contains the necessary information to start a development session for the tutorial.
icf.ini
The icf.ini file contains initialization data such as color, fonts, and window sizes. It also sets the initial PROPATH, the list of directories where the session searches for files and databases, for the session.
