<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> 5 — A <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Whitepaper</strong><br />
Configuration<br />
Different Types of Configuration Files<br />
The Configuration area of <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client’s main screen describes the configuration files<br />
that are stored on <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server. These configured files contain information such as the<br />
location of the X application, how <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> should launch the X application, and numerous<br />
configuration options related to the appearance and behavior of the <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> session. There<br />
are two types of configuration files: Xstart and Xconfig.<br />
Xstart Versus Xconfig Files<br />
Xstart and Xconfig are concepts borrowed from <strong>Exceed</strong>. As a result, the configuration options and<br />
the content of the configuration files are similar to those of <strong>Exceed</strong>. In fact, <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> and<br />
<strong>Exceed</strong> Xstart files can be used interchangeably.<br />
Xstart Files<br />
Xstart automates the process of connecting to a host and starting X applications that reside on it.<br />
A user can create, configure and manage Xstart files (.xs) using <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Xstart Manager.<br />
In these files, the user will specify the host to be connected to the startup method, the login<br />
credentials and the command line parameters necessary to start the X application.<br />
Users are not required to launch an Xstart file for every <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> session. For example, if a<br />
user wants to connect to Linux host and work in the GNOME environment then there is no need for the<br />
user to provide Xstart file information. In this case, the user should select None in the Xstart file field.<br />
Xconfig Files<br />
Xconfig files contain information that specifies how <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> starts an X session and how<br />
it looks and behaves. Therefore, an Xconfig file is required to launch every <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong><br />
session. <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Xconfig Manager lets users create, edit, and delete Xconfig files.<br />
