Settings File

Default values for settings are stored in the file

<installation dir>\configuration\se.solme.avix.prefs

This location can be changed by setting the java property “common_defaults_file” in the config.ini file found in

<installation dir>\configuration

Be aware of the fact that the content of the config.ini file will be overwritten with the standard AVIX content if the application is updated with the built in update mechanism. There are however ways to use the update mechanism to set/change variables in the config.ini file which when used in a controlled manner can help deal with this problem. Please contact Solme if you have need of this for further information and assistance.

Settings in the settings file are set in groups that we call sections. These sections are used to group settings together in the functional units that use and define them. Each section is defined on a row of its own surrounded with brackets and the settings that belong to that section are listed below it, each on a row of its own. For example, the “se.solme.AVIX.licensing” section looks like this:

[se.solme.avix.licensing]

And a setting that belong to it is set like this:

avix.licensing.licenseType=Floating

As an example a few settings in the settings file could look like this in a text editor:

[se.solme.avix.licensing]
avix.licensing.licenseType=Floating
avix.licensing.floatingServerName=ourlicenseserver

[se.solme.net]
avix.proxySettingsSource=File
http.proxySet=false

[se.solme.avix.p2]
avix.update.clearexistingupdatesitesonstartup=true
avix.update.updateonstartup=true
avix.update.installonstartup=true

For a more comprehensive examples take a look in the settings example file provided in the AVIX client installation.

It is called

<installation dir>\configuration\se.solme.avix.prefs.example

and is a normal text file.
