Configuration Tool

The Configuration Tool allows you to configure your OutSystems Platform Server. The default configuration can be used in basic installations but, in more complex environments, you can adjust the configuration to better suit your needs.

This tool is only available in infrastructures that are customer managed, such as on-premise installations. In the case of, for example, the OutSystems personal environment, it's not possible to run this tool. For more information contact OutSystems support.

To launch this tool, simply go to:

Windows > Start Menu > All Programs > OutSystems > Administration Tools > Configuration Tool

When you have more than one Front-end server, you must make sure that the configuration is exactly the same in each Front-end, except for the Schedulers configuration.

To learn how OutSystems fits in your software factory read the OutSystems System Requirements. To understand the configurations and permissions necessary to successfully install OutSystems, check the Installation Prerequisites.
