Description

 

 

 

Debug logs

[Install Path]\FileSystems\MachineData

DSS maintains a set of debug log files.

 

\Logs

These files are designed to help HP

 

 

support debug issues with the DSS

 

 

service, such as crashes, hangs etc.

 

 

 

DSS configuration settings

[Install Path]\FileSystems\Product\DSS

Configuration data used by DSS is

 

\Configuration

stored in a series of files found in the

 

 

Configuration folder. This data includes

 

 

things like SMTP gateway settings,

 

 

LDAP addressing settings, Workflow

 

 

settings etc.

 

 

 

Device information

 

DSS maintains a list of all the devices it

 

 

manages in a binary configuration file.

 

 

This file also contains some basic

 

 

information about the device, such as

 

 

the hostname, device model etc.

 

 

 

Device configuration settings

Stored on the device

All the device-specific configuration

 

 

data is stored on the device itself. When

 

 

required DSS will read back the data

 

 

from the device, manipulate it and send

 

 

it back.

 

 

 

Configuration Utility UI ‘convenience’

Windows Registry

For usability the DSS Configuration

data

 

Utility will remember entries made into

 

 

selected list boxes, as well as the state

 

 

of the Configuration Utility window when

 

 

closed.
