The remainder of this topic takes you through the steps to perform each type of configuration available from the DCE Configuration Menu. Note that in the sample output, the DCE_DISPLAY_THRESHOLD environment variable is set to the default, SUMMARY, therefore dce_config displays only Error, Warning, and Summary messages.
