Accessing Data Source Configuration Files Offline

Prerequisites

This procedure requires you to stop the AS Java. Plan for the required downtime while the AS Java restarts.

Context

When you edit the user management engine (UME) data source configuration file, download the file to a local directory, edit it, and when uploading the edited file, create a new node in the configuration tree for it. In this way you do not lose the original version of the file.

If the AS Java is running, you access the data source configuration files online.
