Hello,

Thank You,

    Re: AXC File

    Hello,

    I don't know if I have ever seen a document that describes the settings of the AXC file in detail.  However, they really aren't hard to decode.  For example,

    logdir,Text,C:\Users\Public\Microsoft\Dynamics Ax\Log\ 
    company,Text,
    startupcmd,Text,
    extracmdline,Text,
    startupmsg,Text,

    This is the Log Directory, Company, Command to run at application startup, Configuration command to run at kernel startup,Startup message fields that are found on the General tab of the client configuration.

    The first portion is the variable name that the kernel looks at, and the second is the data type that is used to represent the data for the setting.  The next portion after the comma would be the setting.  If it is blank, there is no setting for it.  The check boxes are represented as an Int usually where a 1 means the box is checked, and a 0 means it is unchecked.

    There are some that are not set in the configuration utility either.  For example:

    bindir,Text,\\SRV01\AX5\Client\Bin

    datadir,Text,\\SRV01\AX5\Client\Data 

    directory,Text,\\SRV01\AX5\Client 

    These are used to reference specific directories that exist within the client installation structure.  Also, it appears that there are some settings that are no longer used in AX 2009, but were in prior versions. 

    Please examine the AXC file and look at the labels on the configuration Utility.  Based on those, I have a feeling that you will quickly be able to determine what setting is attached to what field in the config file.

    Please let us know if you have any further questions.
