File menu

Use the File pull-down menu to create or save a configuration file. Commands are:

New
Starts a new configuration file.

Note:

If you click New while you are currently editing an existing configuration file, the BINL Server Configuration program prompts you to save your current work.

Open
Opens an existing configuration file. Configuration files are stored by default in the directory specified by the ETC environment variable. A configuration file saved in another directory cannot be used by the BINL server until it is moved to the ETC directory.

Load Sample
Loads the sample configuration file, which contains an example of every type of configurable object. You can use the sample as a starting point for your own configuration.

Save
Saves the current file, using the existing file name. The configuration remains open, available for additional changes. If this is a new file, the default file name is BINLSD.CFG in the directory specified by the ETC environment variable.

Save As
Saves the current file, prompting for a file name. The configuration remains open, available for additional changes. If the configuration file is not saved in the directory specified by the ETC environment variable, it cannot be used by the BINL server until it is moved to the ETC directory.

Exit
Exits the BINL Server Configuration program. You are prompted to save unsaved changes.

Edit menu

Use the Edit menu to find configuration items and to delete, cut, copy, and paste configuration items. Commands are:

Find
Opens the Find window so you can find an item in the configuration, such as a particular client.

Cut
Cuts the selected configuration item and any subordinate items to the clipboard and grays the item in the current view.

Note:

If you cut an item and immediately cut or copy a second item without pasting the first item, the clipboard content is not discarded; the BINL Server Configuration program returns the previously-cut item to an active state in the view.

Copy Item
Copies the selected configuration item to the clipboard. Items subordinate to the selected item are not copied.

Copy Tree
Copies to the clipboard the selected configuration item and all items defined within its scope.

Paste After
If appropriate to the target destination, pastes the clipboard content at the same level, after the currently-selected item. The copied item remains on the clipboard so you can paste it again.

Paste Within
If appropriate to the target destination, pastes the clipboard content as a subordinate item within the currently-selected item. The copied item remains on the clipboard so you can paste it again.

Delete
Deletes an item and all other items defined within the scope of the item.

Attention: A delete action cannot be undone.

Note:

Only one notebook can be open at a time.
