An overview of CMW Admin official documentation here.

XML configuration

The XML configuration file contains the Server Tree and the Device Tree (see Device Explorer) content. It allows to use differents servers/devices view.

There some little changes to make if you want to open an old CMW Admin configuration file :

1. Remove the showModuleChooserAttribute from the Modules element.
2. Add the xmlns attribute in the Modules element : xmlns="xml.mc.cmw.cern"
3. Remove the monitoring attribute from the SrvExStatusMonitor element.
4. If exists, remove the content of the SrvExStatusMonitor element.

Preferences file

The preference file cmwadmin.ref is stored in the user directory. This file contains a reference to the last opened file and is updated each time an XML configuration is opened/saved.

User list

The user list contains rights for each "special" CMW-Admin user. Theses rights are the followings:

• s: for (s)erver administrator: can shutdown and restart servers.
• l: for (l)og viewer: can view servers loggings.
• L: for (L)og administrator: can change servers loggings levels.
• w: for (w)eb directory administrator: can save configuration files in the web directory.
• a: for (a)pplication administrator: can change advanced settings.

If you are not in the user lists, CMW-Admin will start none of theses special rights. To become a privilegied user, send me an mail with the needed rights (just use the same letters has the ones in the list) and a reason to have them.
