1 Settings Editor

Settings Editor is a tool for viewing, editing and managing the OpenEnterprise Settings file. The

settings are displayed in a two pane key and values window. The OpenEnterprise settings file is a

text based INI file. This is found in the designated Application Data directory.

Typically, in a WindowsXP installation, this would be 'C:\Documents and Settings\All

Users\Application Data\Bristol\OpenEnterprise\Application Data'. In Vista, this directory would be

'C:\ProgramData\Bristol\OpenEnteprise\Application Data.

Although Settings Editor enables you to inspect and modify OpenEnterprise settings, normally you do

not need to do so, and making incorrect changes can break your system. An advanced user who is

prepared and able to edit, save and restore the settings file can safely use Settings Editor for such

tasks as creating allowed non-default keys and values (such as the Connection Overrides key

).

We strongly recommend that you use each OpenEnterprise component to modify its own settings e.g.

use the Session Manager to create or modify new sessions and tasks, rather than attempt to edit the

settings directly in the Settings Editor.

1.1 Command line options

The Settings Editor can be launched with the following command line options.

Option

Explanation

/f

Set the path to an alternative Settings File. This can be used for examining

configuration files other than the current default OpenEnterprise configuration

file.

/?

Show command line help. The Settings Editor Help file will open with this topic

displayed.

/r

Import settings from the registry.

/i

Import Settings from a file. Specify the file after the /i option.

/sv

Set a value in the Settings File. Specify the key path using /k, the value name

using /v and the value data using /d.

/ck

Create a key in the Settings file. Path is specified using /k.

/dk

Delete a key from the Settings File. Path is specified using /k.

/dv

Delete a value from the Settings File. Specify the key path using /k and the

value name using /v.

Settings Edito

r

Remote Automation Solutions

Website: www.EmersonProcess.com/Remote

/no

Do not allow use of the /sv option to overwrite an existing value.

/nd

Suppress writing of the default value when creating a new key.

/k

Specify a key path for /dv, /dk, /ck, /sv, /x options.

/v

Specify a value name for /sv, /dv options.

/d

Specify value data for the /sv option.

/s

Create a Restore Point. The description of the Restore Point is specified after

the /s option.

/p

Indicate that a Restore Point created with /s is to be permanent.

/da

Delete the Settings File.

/x

Export a key from the Settings File. Specify the key path using /k. Specify the

file path after the /x option.

/wf

Create standard folders applicable to a workstation installation.

/sf

Create standard folders applicable to a server installation.

/rs <file>

Run a script file (a text file containing command line options which will be

executed in order).

1.2 Warning

When the Settings Editor is started, by default it will display this warning. This is because it is an

advanced administration tool only. An inexperienced user could render the OpenEnterprise

application unusable.

It is strongly recommended that users should alter settings through the OpenEnterprise component's

own interface. There is a checkbox to prevent the dialog from being shown again.

1.2.1 Do not show this message again

Check this box if you do not want it to appear again when the Settings Editor is started.

To enable the warning dialog again, set the data of the DoNotShowWarning value on the Settings

Editor key to 0 (zero).

1.3 Main Interface

The main interface of the Settings Editor displays OpenEnterprise application keys in the left pane as

folders. Any values that apply to the selected key are shown in the right pane.

1.3.1.1 Import

The 'Choose file for Import' dialog enables the user to select a previously saved .INI file for import into

the Settings Editor.

1.3.1.2 Export

The Export menu enables the user to export All Keys or selected Keys or values to a .INI file. This is a

way of saving the current OpenEnterprise setup. Exported files can be imported later using the Import

menu.

1.3.1.2.1 All Keys

If the 'All Keys' option is selected, the 'Choose Export File' dialog will open. The default output folder is

displayed.

The default file name of 'OpenEnterprise.ini' will be placed in the 'File name' field. If this file name is

left unchanged, the original file will be overwritten .

The file name can be changed, but bear in mind that when the Settings Editor is opened, by default it

uses the 'OpenEnterprise.ini' file, which it finds in the output directory to display OpenEnterprise

settings. Also all individual OpenEnterprise components will access this file to determine and write its

settings. The Settings Editor can be made to use another configuration file when it starts by using the

/f command line argument when starting the Settings Editor.

1.3.1.2.2 Selected Keys

The Settings Editor will export the selected key and all its sub-keys to a configuration file (with a .ini

extension). All key values will also be exported to the file.

The 'Choose Export File' dialog will open with the default output folder displayed. A suggested

filename will be placed in the 'File name' field, based on the name of the currently selected key. This

name can be changed if required.

1.3.1.2.3 Selected Values

The Settings Editor will export the currently selected value or values to a configuration file (with a .ini

extension).

The 'Choose Export File' dialog will open with the default output folder displayed. A suggested

filename will be placed in the 'File name' field, based on the name of the key to which the currently

selected value or values belong. This name can be changed if required.

If the action is undone, a description of the previous action is written to the Undo menu option.

All edits that occurred during the current session can be undone one at a time. When the first action

that occurred during the session is undone, the Undo menu is disabled until a new action is

undertaken.

All values have a value name and value data component. Possible value names for each key are set

by OpenEnterprise. A new value created must have a name that matches the values available for the

currently selected key.

The value data can be changed by OpenEnterprise components or by the Settings Editor.

To create, modify or delete a value, select a value on this pane and right click. The context menu

provides options to do these things.

or a full explanation of the settings that can be applied on each key, see the 'Key Settings

' page.

1.3.4.1 Value Name

Each key has a number of associated 'values' that are used to configure the OpenEnterprise

component represented by the key. Each value has a name and data component.

Most of the keys have values that are created by OpenEnterprise at installation, and default data is

used. Other keys may have values that are not created at installation time, but must be inserted into

the key by a user.

When creating a new value or renaming an existing one, the dialog displays an editable field into

which the user must type the name of the value.

When creating new values, it should be remembered that value names are set strings that are

recognized by OpenEnterprise as being associated with a customizable setting. Value names must

therefore coincide with the setting values that are recognized internally. Review the 'Key Settings'

page for the selected key before adding a new value.

However, when modifying an existing value, the Name field is not editable, because modification of a

value only applies to its data component.

1.3.4.2 Value Data

Value data is a string that provides OpenEnterprise with information about how the component

represented by the key is to be configured. The value data string can also represent a number.

OpenEnterprise decides the data type that is meant.

Certain default data will be used on installation, but value data can be changed using the Settings

Editor.

1.4 New Key

Enables the user to create a new key.

1.4.1 Key Name

Type the key name into this field. See the 'Key Settings' section of this document for information on

keys that can be created by the user.

Most keys are created by OpenEnterprise at installation time. The number of keys that can be created

by a user after installation are limited. For instance, a typical key that can be created by an

administrative user would be the 'ConnectionOverrides' key. This can become a sub-key of any

OpenEnterprise Task key.
