Changing the Application Options

In the iFIX WorkSpace, double-click Application Validator in the system tree. The Application Validator opens.
On the Tools menu, click Options. The Application Validator Options dialog box appears.
From the Exclusion List tab, enter the files that you want to exclude from the comparison. For each entry:

In the edit box, enter the file name or file mask. For file name masks, you can use standard Windows wildcard characters. For instance, use the * symbol to represent multiple unknown characters in a file name. Use the ? symbol for a single unknown character in a file name.
Click Add to add the file or file name mask to the file exclusion list.
For example, if you do not want to include log files in your comparison, you would add *.log to the file exclusion list.

NOTE: Do not include the path information with the file name. For example, c:\*.log is not a valid entry in the exclusion list.

Select the Application Execution tab. To define an application to run if differences are found when running the Application Validator from the command line:

Select the Enable Application Execution check box.
In the Application edit box, enter the location and name of the file. Optionally, click the Browse (…) button to search for a file.

Select the Auto Report Naming tab. To use an automatic report naming convention when running the Application Validator from the command line:

Select the Enable Auto Report Naming check box.
In the Directory field, enter the location where you want to save the automatically created report. Optionally, click the Browse (…) button to locate and select a folder.
In the Prefix field, enter the name you want to use for the report file. If you select the Auto Increment option, a number is added to the end of this name each time a new report is run from the command line.
If you want to individually number each report file, instead of overwriting the original file each time you run a new report, select the Auto Increment check box.
