The Application Options dialog allows you to set general and data source specific options used in RTView. Available options and dialog tabs depend on which data sources are licensed in your RTView application. For information on Application Options for your data source, refer to the “RTView Data Sources” section of this documentation.
Options specified in the Application Options dialog are saved into initialization (.ini) files when you click the Save button. On startup, these initialization files are read by the Display Builder, Display Viewer, Display Server, Data Server, and Historian to set initial values for all application options. It is possible to specify a directory for your initialization files. If no directory is specified and initialization files are not found in the directory where you started the current application, then RTView will search under lib in your installation directory. See “RTV_JAVAOPTS” for more information.
Note: Options specified using command line arguments will override values saved in initialization files. See “Command Line Options: Display Builder and Display Viewer” for more information.
The following initialization files are saved from the Application Options dialog and read by RTView:
§ General options are read from OPTIONS.ini.
§ Additional initialization files are read for alerts and for data sources that are licensed in your RTView application. For information on Application Options for your data source, refer to the “RTView Data Sources” section of this documentation.
The Application Options dialog can opened within the Display Builder or run as a stand-alone application on Windows or UNIX.
Setting Options in the Display Builder
In the Display Builder, select Tools>Options to open the Application Options dialog.
Setting Options via Configuration Utility
To run the dialog stand-alone, you will need to use the Configuration Utility.
In an initialized command window (see “Initializing a Command Prompt or Terminal Window”) type: run_configutil
Note: When running stand-alone, Java options specified in “RTV_JAVAOPTS” will be used by the run_configutil scripts.
By default, the Application Options Utility requires a “Login” to support “Role-based Security”. The default user name and password are:
User Name: admin
Password: admin
Note: If your system administrator has configured a user name and password for you, use these instead. In this case, you may also need to select a role. See “Role-based Security” for more information.
