The CDT-specific resource files are located in the <INSTALL_DIR>/resources/ydkresources directory. These resource files allow you to modify the CDT preference settings, database-specific settings, and so forth.
The cdt_custom.xml.sample is a sample of the special custom deployment XML file that can be used to deploy the custom tables defined in your installation. For more information about deploying custom tables, see How to deploy custom tables using the CDT.
This cdt_dbdefaults.properties file is used to provide extra database pool options for given database types. It contains default values for various databases that are used while configuring the CDT. The CDT uses this file to handle the database connections.
The ydkprefs.xml file contains the preference settings defined for the CDT and is created when you run the GUI-based CDT. It contains the configure preferences (such as a Reports Directory) and parameters that determine the behavior of the comparison operation of the CDT.
The ydkprefs.xml.sample file is automatically included in the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation installation. You can edit it to specify configuration preferences (such as a Reports Directory) and parameters that determine the comparison operation behavior of the CDT. When finished modifying this sample file, rename it to ydkprefs.xml.
