Setting your System-Wide Burst Configuration
Several burst configuration settings are shared across all document types. These settings provide the only burst configuration information for those documents for which there is no document-type-specific burst configuration.
The system-wide settings are stored in a file named atidefaults.bcf. The atidefaults.bcf file is an XML file. A sample atidefaults.bcf file is provided in the following directory:
Arbortext-path\adapters\com.ptc.prowt.arbortext\bursting
It is recommended that you use this file as a starting point when setting your system-wide burst configuration. You can edit the file by opening it with Arbortext Editor. Note that if you are migrating a burst configuration file from an Arbortext repository adapter, the PTC Server-Verbindung will safely ignore any settings that were exclusively intended for use with that adapter.
After you've edited your
atidefaults.bcf file, you must specify (for the
PTC Server-Verbindung) where it is located. See
Specifying the burst configuration location for details.
When configuring your system-wide defaults, remember that the settings in each document-type-specific burst configuration file can override the settings in the system-wide burst configuration file. Consequently, you should attempt to make your system-wide burst configuration as generic as possible and incorporate specific modifications in your document-type-specific burst configuration.
Some of the files that you edit with Arbortext Editor may not have a DTD or XML schema. Such files would include text files and free-form XML files. Since these files have no document type, they will not use any document-type-specific burst configuration file. The only burst configuration information they can use is in the system-wide burst configuration.
Following is an example system-wide burst configuration file.
