Substitutable Parameters

The administrator can define substitutable parameters in the FILE parameter of the CfAlias file.

Substitutable parameters are defined by a percent sign (%) followed by the parameter name. See the following table for the supported substitutable parameters:
Substitutable Parameters Description
