The default name of the configuration file is default.

apt and it is located in t

he Configurations directory in the Server directory of your installation
You can give the configuration file a different name or location or both from th
eir defaults. If you do, assign the new path and file name to the environment va
riable APT_CONFIG_FILE. If APT_CONFIG_FILE is defined, the parallel engine uses
that configuration file rather than searching in the default locations. In a pro
duction environment, you can define multiple configurations and set APT_CONFIG_F
ILE to different path names depending on which configuration you want to use.
You can set APT_CONFIG_FILE on a project wide level from the InfoSphere DataStage
Administrator (see InfoSphere DataStage Administrator Client Guide) or for indiv
idual jobs from the Job Properties dialog.
