dxstart.exe Configuration File
In a standard LANSA Composer installation, dxstart.exe requires only the information described above to successfully start the requested function.
In exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary to override aspects of dxstart.exe's default behavior. This can be done by altering the contents of the dxstart.cfg file contained in the same folder as dxstart.exe. The presence of this file is optional - if it is not present, dxstart.exe will use default behaviours.
The following is an example dxstart.cfg file. All the configuration parameters in this example are commented by the preceding semi-colon (;) and thus are not effective. The dxstart.exe program will exhibit default behavior in this case.
; --------------------------------------------------------------------
; THIS file can be used to configure dxstart.exe so that it can locate
; and correctly execute the LANSA and LANSA Composer executable files.
;
; dxstart.exe is used to:
;
; - start the LANSA Composer client
; (dxstart.exe /request=dxclient)
;
; - start the LANSA Composer Document Manager
; (dxstart.exe /request=dxtxmon)
;
; - run client-side LANSA Composer processing sequence run "shortcuts"
; (dxstart.exe /request=run /shortcut=%1)
; (normally accomplished by Windows shell file association for .dxrun)
;
; - execute the LANSA Composer database housekeeping task
; (dxstart.exe /request=dxreorg)
;
; In a standard LANSA Composer installation, the defaults used by
; dxstart.exe should suffice - it should NOT be necessary to enable
; ANY settings in this file.
;
; For a LANSA Composer client that is or may be used in OFFLINE mode,
; it will be necessary that this file is configured correctly to permit
; the offline LANSA Composer client to access the local database.
;
; Typically, this applies to:
; - an offline client used on and with a LANSA Composer Windows server
; installation,
; - a LANSA Composer development environment (applies to LANSA LPC only)
;
; Lines beginning with ; are comments and will NOT be effective.
