aclAuditExchange.xml

Stores global settings for AX Server.

Settings can be modified using the AX Server Configuration web application.

Note

You can modify most of these values from the AX Server Configuration web application. You should use the web application whenever possible to change AX Server settings because the values are validated before the aclAuditExchange.xml file is re-saved.
