Appendix I Definition Files

This section explains how to configure definition files.

To use the functions of Resource Orchestrator, it is necessary to create definition files in advance.

Note

If you edit and save a UTF-8 text file using Windows Notepad, the Byte Order Mark (BOM) is stored in the first three bytes of the file, and the information specified on the first line of the file will not be analyzed correctly. When using Notepad, specify the information from the second line.

Location of the Definition File

Definition files are created in the following location.

[Windows]
Installation_folder\\Manager\etc\customize_data

[Linux]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data
