Most configuration is performed on a per-site basis, with some that is applied globally.

VWcms configuration comprises these activities for each site:

1. Allocation of a file-system area to contain the site content
2. Adding the site to the VWCMS_CONFIG configuration file
3. Adding mapping rules to the web server for this file-system area
4. Tailoring the VWcms site configuration file
5. Editing the site content

VWcms supports concurrent multiple sites differentiated by unique file-system locations, using global configuration and web server mapping.  The actual file-system location can be anywhere the server has access.

As suggested in Installation a concealed logical name for locating VWcms sites is the recommended approach.

$ DEFINE /SYSTEM /TRANSLATION=CONCEALED VWCMS_ROOT DKA0:[VWCMS.]

VWCMS$WATCH

The logical name VWCMS$WATCH provides some on-line insight into VWcms configuration and processing.

$ DEFINE /SYSTEM VWCMS$WATCH "*"

If translated to be an IP address it confines the behaviour to clients with that address.

$ DEFINE /SYSTEM VWCMS$WATCH "192.168.1.2"
