When the xfServerPlus service starts, rsynd reads settings in the registry on Windows—or in the synrc file on UNIX and OpenVMS—and uses them to set up the environment for xfServerPlus.
Each time an xfServerPlus session is started, xfpl.dbr reads the settings in the xfpl.ini file. Note that if you have set SFWINIPATH to point to the location of your synergy.ini file, the dbs runtime will read the synergy.ini file.
For best results, we recommend that you put the XFPL_LOG setting first in your xfpl.ini file, followed by the other logging settings and then the non-logging settings. This way, xfServerPlus knows immediately how—or whether—to create the log and, assuming logging is turned on, can then log any errors it encounters when reading the remaining settings.
