How i4 configuration files are merged together?
Contents
Consider the following merging order, where the first one wins:
i4config.xml
i4configeditorial.xml
i4configarchive.xml
i4configbase.xml
An example: a configuration element with the same name exists in the i4Config.xml and in the i4ConfigEditorial.xml. Wins the configuration element in the i4Config.xml. Another example: a configuration element with the same name exists in the i4ConfigEditorial.xml and in the i4ConfigBase.xml. Wins the configuration element in the i4ConfigEditoria.xml.
