Checking and modifying the configuration files

Spectrum Connect has several configuration files that store configuration settings that you can change manually if needed.

You can view and modify the contents of each file with any standard text editor, according to the purpose and contents of each file.

After modifying a configuration file, you must restart the Spectrum Connect service by running the following CLI command on the Linux host:

service ibm_spectrum_connect restart

For more information about this service, see Checking and controlling the Spectrum Connect Linux service.
