1.4 Notes on editing the files

This section describes the notes on editing files in Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows 8, Window 7, or Windows Vista. Note that the description assumes that the system drive is the C drive.

For updating a definition file
You must update the definition files provided by the Application Server with administrator privileges. If a user who does not have administrator privileges updates the definition files, the definition files in the directory under C:\Program Files are not updated. The files updated by the user who does not have administrator privileges are saved in the following directory:
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
Note that the Application Server is started with administrator privileges and therefore the contents of the definition files updated by a user who does not have administrator privileges are ignored.
For using Unicode supplementary characters
The characters added in Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista include the Unicode supplementary characters. You cannot use Unicode supplementary characters in the definition files used with the Application Server.
The following are the examples of definitions in which Unicode supplementary characters cannot be used:
  • Names of EAR, WAR, JAR, EJB-JAR, Servlets, JSP, class, method, argument, and variables
  • Various definitions in DD
  • Apart from the above, set up values of various definition files
Also, when characters that cannot be converted to the character encoding during the execution are output to a log file, the characters are not output correctly.
