Overview

In Version 7.X, TT uses two .xml files located in <root drive>:ttconfig to configure many behaviors of your TT Trading System (i.e., both servers and clients):

aconfig.xml
aconfig_local.xml

You configure these files using the AConfig Utility.

aconfig.xml

The aconfig.xml file contains the following sets of information:

Global default settings for all parameters that get set in the aconfig_local.xml file.
Exchange IDs and associated exchange-flavors for TT Gateways.
The version number of the file as stored in the RevisionCount parameter.

aconfig_local.xml

The aconfig_local.xml contains all non-default settings specific to the machine on which the file resides. Thus, if a parameter does not exist in the aconfig_local.xml file, TT software behaves according to the default setting in aconfig.xml.

For details configuring server component behavior in aconfig_local.xml, refer to the topics listed under Configuring Server Component Behavior.
For details on configuring other TT behaviors, refer to the topics listed under Configuring Miscellaneous System Behavior.
