▀ Source and Destination Configuration

Source and Destination Configuration
This section provides information about the source and destination configuration file parameters. The source and
destination configuration file, ess_sourcedest_config, is located in the directory where the installable tar file is extracted.
This config file can be loaded to a database using a config utility called lessConfigUtility.sh. This script can
also be used to add/remove/modify the configuration for particular source/destination, and other miscellaneous
configurations like changing config parameters and adding/removing/modifying SNMP host.
The config file based configuration is provided to load source/destination config in bulk. Please note the following
points:
 Common configuration parameters will be applied to all source/destination configured through the config file.
 If any parameter is changed from particular source/destination configuration block then changed value will be
applied to source/destination instead of the value from common config.
 Destination can be configured from "common local destination block" / "common remote destination block" /
"destination block per source".
 If the source block is having corresponding destination configuration then same configuration will be used for
destination.
 If the source does not have corresponding destination configuration then configuration from "common local
destination block"/ "common remote destination block" will be used depending on the location (R - Remote / L
- Local) value.
 Source-Destination mapping
 Source Path1,Filter1 mapped to Destination Path1,subdirectory1,Filter1
 Source Path2,Filter2 mapped to Destination Path2,subdirectory2,Filter2
 Source Path5,Filter5 mapped to Destination Path5,subdirectory5,Filter5
To load the source/destination config file after the L-ESS installation is complete:
1. Modify the source/destination config file template as per the requirements.
2. Use the config utility present in the <less_install_dir>/ess directory to validate and load the config file.
./lessConfigUtility.sh [Options] [Config File Path]
The [Config File Path] is the path where the config file is present.
