FileServ employs global parameters that define the system. These parameters are located in files contained in the $FS_HOME/sysparms directory, where $FS_HOME is the directory where FileServ is installed.

FileServ parameter files can be edited to customize the software for your specific installation. For instructions, see “Edit System Parameters” on page 1-46.

The table below lists the configurable parameters:
