1.3 Precautions during file editing

This section describes the precautions you must take when editing files with Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista. The description assumes that the system drive is the C drive.

To update the definition file
The definition file provided with the Application Server must be updated with administrator permission. If a user who does not have administrator permission updates the definition file, the definition file present in the directory under C:\Program Files is not updated. The file updated by a user who does not have administrator permission is saved in the following directory:
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
The application server is invoked with administrator permission, so the contents of the definition file updated by a user who does not have administrator permission are ignored.
To use the Unicode supplementary characters
The characters added with Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista include the Unicode supplementary characters. You cannot use the Unicode supplementary characters in the definition file used with Application Server.
Examples of definitions in which the Unicode supplementary characters cannot be used are as follows:
  • Names of EAR, WAR, JAR, EJB-JAR, servlet, JSP, class, method, argument, and variables
  • Various definitions in a DD
  • Apart from the above, setup values of various definition files
Moreover, if the characters that cannot be encoded during execution are output to a log file, the characters are not output correctly.
