Preparing for Rational Statemate installation : Configuration components : Preferences (STM_PREFERENCES_DIR)

Preferences (STM_PREFERENCES_DIR)

Three levels of preferences (system, project, and user) are stored in *.pref files in the preferences directory of the Rational Statemate installation file structure. The file names can be user names, project names, or system.

Rational Statemate requires the following permissions to the preferences files:

Windows systems - full control
Solaris systems - read/write access

During the installation, you can set the location for the preferences directory outside the main Rational Statemate file structure. The environment variable STM_PREFERENCES_DIR is set based on the assigned location.
