Customizing Company Preferences


The installation may contain a file with all Preference parameters, along with their default values. The file is identified as $telelogic/.sdtpref (on UNIX), or sdt.ini (in Windows), and resides in the installation directory of the tools.

This file is also referred to as the company / organization preference file. In Windows, to be meaningful in a multi-user environment, the company preference file should be stored on a network drive (and, of course, all users should have read access to this file).

To customize the company's preferences, do as follows:

  1. UNIX only: Login on a privileged account (for instance as system manager or the user who is the owner of the installation).
  2. On UNIX: Change the default directory to $telelogic. Start the SDL Suite.
    In Windows: Start SDL Suite from the installation directory, i.e. not from a shortcut icon that defines another start directory.
  3. Start the Preference Manager from the Organizer.
  4. Modify the preference parameters of your choice (described in Adjusting a Preference Parameter). For a description of the meaning of the preference parameters, see Preference Parameters.
  5. Save the parameter setup. This concludes the procedure. From now on, all users (in Windows, those that are running from the network installation) will have the company setup as default (unless they have a different setup in their $HOME/.sdtpref (on UNIX), or %HOME%\sdt.ini (in Windows))

The TTCN Suite specific preferences and their default values on UNIX are described in How Resources Are Read.
