The Factory process reads the configuration file for the configuration key values when the process starts. Starting and stopping the cluster starts and stops the Factory process. Stop the cluster in System Console before making changes to the configuration file. Then, make necessary changes to the configuration file, save the file, and start the cluster. Processes that start after changes in the configuration file use the new information. To ensure that design files use updated configuration file information, confirm that no document generation jobs are running before stopping the cluster.
