Hummingbird User Manager

Overrides List

Hummingbird User Manager works by customizing, or overriding, the default TSE settings for particular users. If you do not create any overrides, then default functionality is installed for all users. Overrides can be applied globally, for groups, or for individuals.

The following list of overrides is available for Hummingbird products.

Override Name

Possible Override Values

Override Description

HCL_USER_ROOT

[%EnvVariable]

\\server\share\path

[PreDefinedInstallerProperty]

Determines the Root User directory.

Path must be unique for each user.

Each user must have read/write access to the specified directory.

Default is: AppDataFolder\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\

where version is the current product version.

Note:  The above path should end with a backslash.

TRANSFORMS

Semicolon-delimited list of transform paths. For example:

C:\Filename.mst

C:\abc.mst

C:\def.mst

You can specify a custom transform to use for each user. The transform must be applicable to the original product .msi file and be read accessible by the current user. Otherwise, the installation will continue without applying the transform.

SOURCEDIR

[%EnvVariable]

\\server\share\path

[PreDefinedInstallerProperty]

Determines the location of the MSI file used in the per-user installation. Must be accessible to all users who have this override. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

Exceed.Xserver.KeepLfpXdb
