In this configuration file, you define the connections to the AE systems that the AE Plug‑in and its perspectives can access. Without this configuration, you will not be able to work with the perspectives of the AE Plug‑in.

The changes that you make to the uc4config.xml file take effect after logging out and back in.

Description

AWI uses the Automation Engine as its backend product. AE provides AWI the databases as well as all object types and object definitions. The uc4config.xml is where you define one or more AE systems that AWI users can log into. Whether users can select an AE connection or are restricted to only the first connection that is defined here, depends on how the "automationEngine.index" property in the configuration.properties file is set. For more information, see configuration.properties.

File location

When you have installed the AWI, you find this configuration file in your application server, in the ...\<AWI>\config folder.

To Define the Connections to the AE Systems

  1. In your application server go to the folder …\<AWI>\config.
  2. Rename the file uc4config.xml.sample to uc4config.xml.

    Note: Some configuration files are delivered with the extension "sample" to ensure that your existing configuration files will not be overwritten when you update the AWI installation.

  3. Open the renamed file and update the configuration as described in the list below.
  4. For the changes to take effect, stop and restart your application server.

Structure

The list that follows explains the structure of the file and describes the parameters and settings with their possible values.
