Remarks
If you supply a parameter name and value in the Application/Parameters section of the instance configuration file (ICF), the value replaces a parameter with the same name in the application definition file (ADF). For example, if you have a parameter name/value pair of File and Stock.htm in the Application/Parameters section of the ICF, then every occurrence of %File% in the ADF is replaced with Stock.htm.
You can use parameters in this section by providing values in the ICF's ParameterDefaults section or when creating and updated the instance of Notification Services.
Example
This example shows how to specify a value for the %DBSystem% parameter in the ADF. MyDBServer, specified by the Value element, is substituted for %DBSystem% throughout the ADF.
<Parameter>
<Name>DBSystem</Name>
<Value>MyDBServer</Value>
</Parameter>
