Hi,
we are facing the problem, that we have several sites and we do some concurrent designing. Now the problem is, that every site has its own DxDatabook configuration file.
Is there a way to change the used configuration file via automation?
I see a way to do it via modification of the project file, but this seems a little bit risky for concurrent designs.

Yes, you can do exactly what you want. My employer has multiple sites and we copy the library locally to each one. The trick is to use environment variables in the .prj file, like this:
KEY CentralLibrary "${LIB_PATH}\ReleaseLib.lmc"
KEY DBCFile "${LIB_PATH}\ReleaseLib.dbc"
Now each site can have its own local copy of the library and your global .prj file just needs to reference the environment variables; add suitable variable values to each client PC. Note that syntax is important when you define the KEY lines above; the example works for both linux and Windows OS.
