Modify the configuration file

When adding data sources to the PI connector and modifying the configuration file to point to an INI file, the INI file settings are copied into the connector repository. If you modify the INI file, you must read the file into the connector repository for the changes to take effect. Follow the steps in this topic to ensure that changes to the INI file are read by the connector.

1. Open the INI file in a text editor.

2. Apply your changes and save the file.

3. Select either the Change or Delete button in the Data Source configuration page.

4. Navigate to the appropriate directory and select the INI file.

5. Select Save at the bottom of the configuration page.

   If no syntax problems were encountered, the INI will be accepted. If problems are encountered, an error message is displayed with the line number of the error. In that case, edit the INI file again to correct the problem and repeat the previous steps.
