This plug-in is used to configure XBOUND applications and XBOUND Platform Service.
XBOUND applications use a number of settings, such as the connection to the XBOUND server, logging settings, or the temporary working directory. These settings are stored in a configuration file, xboundConfiguration.foxconfig (default location C:\ProgramData\ReadSoft\xbound). The path to the file is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the Common Configuration Manager.
This file contains a section for each application that uses it. However, it also has a <CommonSettings> section that contains settings that apply to the all of those applications.
When an application is started:
It first looks for its application-specific settings in the xboundConfiguration.foxconfig file on the local computer .
If there are none, then the settings in the <CommonSettings> section of that file are used.
If there are no local xboundConfiguration.foxconfig file, then the application looks in xboundConfigurationCommon.foxconfig in a central location.
The configuration settings for XBOUND Platform Service are stored in a configuration file, XBOUNDPlatform.exe.config (default location C:\Program Files\ReadSoft\xbound).
The Common Configuration Manager helps you to specify the settings in both of the above-mentioned configuration files. Read more about:
Configuring common application settings (settings that are used by multiple applications)
Configuring applications centrally so that you can manage the settings for multiple computers in a single location (ideal for larger XBOUND environments)
You also use the Common Configuration Manager to:
Note: In order to save changes in the Common Configuration Manager, you must run the Management Center as an Administrator.
The file name of this plug-in (in case you need to add it to the XBOUND Management Center, for example) is xboundPlugInCommonConfigurationManager.dll.
