Environment Editor.
The Environment Editor appears.
- Without selecting a variable, right-click on the variable list to see the options, then click New variable.
- In the Variable Editor dialog box, enter the variable name DSYSettingDir, enter a value, for example E:\users\MySettingsStoredinDB then click OK, save your changes and exit the Environment Editor.
- Start a session and log onto a security context.
For example:
VPLMDesigner.MyCompany.Standard
where Standard is the project name.
Because the Local Save mechanism is activated, click Local Save to store your settings in the local save image on your disk.
- Exit the session.
You will be prompted to either propagate your changes to the database, or save your session in a local save image. Propagating to the database stores your settings to the server and deletes the settings in the local save image. The settings in the server are now your reference settings. Saving your session in a local save image means that your reference settings are not on the server, but on your disk. The local save image contains a typical settings cache structure illustrated in What Is Settings in Database Mode?.
Note that the directory E:\users\MySettingsStoredinDB is empty: the Local Save mechanism has not yet been deactivated.
- Start a new session.
You will be prompted to retrieve your local save image (if you created one) containing your settings. If you do not, the settings in your local save image are deleted.
