Frequently Asked Questions About the Startup Profile Manager
The following list outlines some of the frequently asked questions about using the Startup Profile Manager.
When Does iFIX Use the Startup Profiles That You Create?
iFIX does not use the startup profiles that you create and modify in the Startup Profile Manager application until a profiled user attempts to start iFIX. When starting, iFIX checks the currently logged in Windows user name to determine if the user has a profile listed in the Startup Profile Manager.
The Override iFIX Startup Command Line Parameters Option in the Startup Profile Manager Does Not Appear to Work... Why?
The check box in the Startup Profile Manager to override the iFIX startup command line parameters (the Startup Profiles defined in this application override iFIX Startup command line parameters option in the Options dialog box) only applies to the /n, /s, and /l command line options. In addition, for the override to work, the user must be defined in the Startup Profile Manager, or if the user is not defined, the default profile must be enabled.
How Do I Stop the iFIX Startup Dialog Box From Appearing?
If you clear both the Allow User to Run Sample System and the Allow User to Modify Nodename check boxes for the iFIX Startup Options in the Startup Profile Manager, the iFIX Startup dialog box does not appear for the specified user.
If I am Upgrading from a Previous Release, Do I Have to Use Startup Profiles?
No. Your existing startup configurations will run without changes. If you later choose to create new startup profiles, the Startup Profile Manager includes an option that allows the new profile settings that you create to override the pre-existing configurations. For more information on the override setting, refer to the Configuring the Options for the Startup Profile Manager section.
