When the software starts,
it determines which configuration options are in effect by reading
a series of configuration files, by looking in the environment, and
by reading the command line. If two settings of the same name exist
in different configuration settings, then the order in which the settings
are read determines which value is used. The last value read is used
as the configuration setting.
DataFlux Data Management
Studio reads configuration settings in this order:
-
The app.cfg file in the etc folder where the software
is installed.
-
The app.cfg file in a user folder, such as drive:\Documents
and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\DataFlux\DataManagement\VERSION.
-
The application-specific configuration files in the etc
folder, such as ui.cfg or dmserver.cfg.
-
The application-specific configuration files in a
user folder.
-
The macros folder in the etc folder. The default path
to the macros folder can be overridden with BASE/MACROS_PATH setting
in the preceding configuration files.
-
The macros folder in a user folder.
-
The environment variables.
-
The command-line options if applicable.
