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.
Example
This example shows how to specify a value for the %DBSystem% parameter in the ADF. DBServer01, specified by the Value element, is substituted for %DBSystem% throughout the ADF.
<Parameter>
<Name>DBSystem</Name>
<Value>DBServer01</Value>
</Parameter>
This example shows how to specify a parameter for the ADF with the name NSSystem, which gets its value from an ICF parameter. You must provide a value for the ICF parameter %NSServer% either in the ParameterDefaults section of the instance configuration file (ICF) or when creating the instance.
<Parameter>
<Name>DistributorSystem</Name>
<Value>%NSServer%</Value>
</Parameter>
For example, you can provide a value for %NSServer% in the ParameterDefaults section of the ICF.
<ParameterDefaults>
<Parameter>
<Name>NSServer</Name>
<Value>Server01</Value>
</Parameter>
</ParameterDefaults>
