[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data

[Linux Manager]

/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data

In the storage location above, the sample definition file (sparc_vm.rcxprop.sample) is stored.
When using the sample as the definition file, delete the ".sample" included in the file name.

Definition File Name

sparc_vm.rcxprop

Character Code

UTF-8

Line Break Code

[Windows Manager]

Note

  • When more than two lines are written, the configurations described in the last line are valid.

  • Blank spaces and tabs directly before and after an equal sign ("=") are ignored.

  • Describe the definitions carefully, as entry is case-sensitive.
