This section describes the information stored in the registry and used by CA IDMS Server. This information is provided to help you identify problems that may arise with CA IDMS Server. The registry information is maintained using the ODBC Administrator, available from the Control Panel. Unlike ini files, it cannot be edited directly, but it can be edited using the registry editor provided by Microsoft. Only advanced users should attempt to edit the registry directly, since an error can disable not only CA IDMS Server, but also Windows itself.
The registry is structured as a hierarchical database, with keys, sub-keys, and values. Two of the top level keysare used by the ODBC Driver Manager and the CA IDMS Server drivers. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE contains information about hardware and software common to all users of the machine. HKEY_CURRENT_USER contains preferences and application settings for the current user. A sub-key is analogous to a directory path and is specified in a similar fashion. The following are the sub-keys used by ODBC and CA IDMS:
Under each of these keys are sub-keys corresponding to the section names used in ini files. At the lowest level are value names, corresponding to the key names used in ini files, and the values themselves. The remainder of this appendix describes the information in these sub-keys.
