System Configuration Folder

From the System Configuration folder you can manage:

  • Initialization files (*.INI) contained in the iFIX LOCAL folder. Be aware that you can only manage the *.INI collectively. You cannot manage these files individually.
  • SCU files (*.SCU) contained in the iFIX LOCAL folder. The *.SCU files can be managed individually.

In order to check in and check out system configuration (*.SCU) files, the iFIX user must have the System Configuration application feature assigned to it, in addition to the Change Management feature.

TIP: For information on configuring users and application feature selection, refer to the Understanding iFIX Security section in the Configuring Security Features electronic book.

While iFIX is running, you cannot get the current SCU. The Get feature, from both the right-click menu and from the PCM History window, is unavailable for SCU files. You can, however, use the Get Other Project command to copy these files to another location, and then update the SCU to run the project. If you get an .SCU file that does not map to your current path (the paths are different), the project will not start in iFIX. You must update the SCU file. Refer to the Get Other Project section for more details.
