Requiring that iFIX be Running in Order to Start the Application Validator

To require that iFIX be running to start the Application Validator:

  1. In Notepad or another text editor, open the AppValConfig.ini file.
  2. Make sure that both options are set to Yes, as shown in the following example:

[Security]

RunningIFixIsRequired=Yes

EnabledSecurityIsRequired=Yes

NOTE: You may want to change EnabledSecurityIsRequired to No. If you set EnabledSecurityIsRequired to Yes, then the Application Validator only runs when Security is Enabled within iFIX. If you set to EnabledSecurityIsRequired to No, then iFIX Security does not have to be enabled in order to run the Application Validator.

  1. Save the file into the iFIX product folder (the location where you installed iFIX).
  2. Restart iFIX. Make sure iFIX security is enabled.
  3. Restart the Application Validator.
