The file config.xml

This article gives you an overview of the variable configuration settings for the G DATA Management Server

The configuration file config.xml contains all modifiable environment parameters of the G DATA Management Server. These are loaded when the service is started, so the 'G DATA Management Server' service must always be restarted after changes have been made to the file. Only then will the new parameters be used.

The file is located in the G DATA Management Server program directory (default):

C:\Programme (x86)\G Data\G DATA AntiVirus ManagementServer

When saving the Config.xml file, make sure that the file is saved with an .xml extension. (When "Save as" is used, the default setting of the text editor is ".txt". This has the consequence that .txt is still appended to the name entered. To avoid this, change the setting to "All files").

The structure of the file "Config.xml" will be familiar to administrators who have already edited configuration files in XML style. The file defines different setting groups and lists settings in this group with the tag pair <setting></setting>. Each setting has a name, a type and a value, which are defined as attributes in the <setting> tag. The values are typically integers, boolean values (true/false), strings or TimeSpan values. The table in this section lists the name of the setting and the associated possible values. The setting name should never be edited. Only the value is changed to the desired setting.

The different settings of Config.xml are grouped by theme. The different groups and their most important settings are listed below.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
    <group name="Database">
        <setting name="DbServer" type="string" value=".\GDATA2014" />

</group>

Peer-to-Peer <group name="P2P">

Settings for peer-to-peer update distribution.

By default, peer-to-peer update distribution is set up in such a way that the G DATA Management Server suggests the most suitable machines (e.g. in terms of network load and update duration) for each client to load updates peer-to-peer. In some special cases, it may be necessary to change the criteria of the G DATA Management Server in order to achieve an optimal result.

In the table below you will find an overview of the variable parameters. Before changing these values, "DoNotConsiderP2PConfigToDB" must first be deleted from the registry from the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\G DATA\AVK ManagementServer

when using a 32-bit system, the key is located under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\G DATA\AVK ManagementServer

If the key is still present when the G DATA Management Server service is restarted, the changed values will not be read in.

If more stages are used, additional values can be added to the configuration file. If there are more levels than values for a particular setting, the next values are extrapolated from the range (estimated from existing values, for a more detailed explanation see Wikipedia: Extrapolation).

Server type <group name="Server">

These settings determine whether the ManagementServer runs as a main, secondary or subnet server.

The parameters "MainMms", "SubnetMms" and "IsSecondaryMMS" can be configured. The following specifications are possible:

If IsSecondaryMMS contains <True> as a value, the G DATA Management Server service runs as a Secondary Sever.
If IsSecondaryMMS contains <False> as value and SubnetMms is not empty, then the G DATA Management Server service runs as a subnet server.
For all other combinations, G DATA Management Server runs as Main Server
