Configuration (Windows)
Savapi 2 has two components: Savapi Service and SAVAPI.DLL. You can configure both
using their .INI files.
The Savapi Service initially runs with secure default values. It automatically creates the
file SAVAPI.INI .
You can change most of the parameters while Savapi Service is running. A restart is only
necessary for the following parameters:
•
Port number
•
Temporary directory
•
Updates directory
•
License file name
•
Logfile name
If you want to stop Savapi Service:
Start the services applet under
Start\Administrative Tools\Services
Select Savapi Service.
Stop Savapi Service.
Change the parameters.
Restart Savapi Service.
If necessary, restart the program that uses SAVAPI.DLL .

This value indicates the number of the TCP/IP port used for communication between
Savapi Service and SAVAPI.DLL . If this port is already assigned, you can change it. Do not
forget to specify it in SAVAPIDL.INI (see
Example
Temporary Directory
It specifies the directory to which Savapi Service writes its temporary files. The location is
usually the sub-folder \temp of the installation directory. You may, however, use another
location – but ensure there is enough memory space.
