ACS Connection Configuration

Presently the list of possible ACS locations (see Section  4.3 ) is constructed from a set of "factory options", to which is added the value obtained from $HOME/.almaot/ObservingTool.properties (set as ACS.managerhost) if this file is present. This last value is used as the default, unless the file is not present in which case "acc" is used as the default (for the ATF tests).

The initial value used by the OT may also be set by adding to the JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable a value like -DACS.managerhost=your.acs.host .

In the current implementation it is not possible to change the persistent default from within the OT -- this may only be achieved by editing (or creating) the ObservingTools.properties file and changing the value.
