Using the Application.ini File

Starting with AllFusion Gen 7.6, the runtime utilizes a file named application.ini. This file is delivered in the %IEFH% (for Windows) or the $IEFH (for UNIX) directory. It contains a set of environment variables that are read by the runtime during application execution. The use of this file is to reduce the number of environment variables that must be set outside of the runtime for generated applications.

For providing environment variable uniqueness to each generated application, the application.ini file is copied from either %IEFH% or $IEFH into the application's build directory. Before the application is executed, this file can be modified by the user to set these environment variables exclusively for the associated application. Once the file is copied into the application's build directory, it does not get overridden.
