Using Configuration Server in Development

In most circumstances, unless you are actively modifying Configuration Server development, you will want to have the latest version of the Configuration Server installed and running as a service on your Windows development system.

By default, the Configuration Server uses one of the following as the base directory where configuration data is stored:

Platform	Directory
Windows	%ProgramData%\Synergex\SIP\ConfigServer
Linux	/etc/synergex/sip/config-server

But the development environment includes several sample configurations, including the main DEVELOPMENT profile that's intended for use in the development environment. If you'd like to set up Configuration Server to use that configuration directory instead of its default location, set the environment variable SIP_CONFIG_PATH to point to the config directory in the development environment.

Set custom config server data directory

set SIP_CONFIG_PATH=C:\DEV\SYNERGEX\IntegrationPlatform\config

IMPORTANT: Because you'll be running Configuration Server as a Windows service, you must set SIP_CONFIG_PATH as a system environment variable. You can open the environment variables dialog by executing the following command from an administrative command prompt:

Open environment variables dialog

rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables
