01. Overview
The Sentinel.ini file is used by Sentinel to hold a certain amount of configuration information as well as the locations for the rest of the Data Mover system components. Following is a quick explanation of the critical sections of a sample Sentinel.ini File. All these values can be maintained through the UI of the Data Mover. You may also edit them directly if you wish.
