Changes to CAST .INI files
In version 5.1.1, CAST changed the way in which it manages its .INI configuration files. These changes are transparent and you do not need to manually make any changes, however, this help page summarizes the changes that have been made:
In versions 5.1.0 and below, CAST used a general .INI configuration file (cw.ini) located in the WINDOWS/WINNT folder. In version 5.1.1 and above, this file has now been replaced with a new .INI file called GloballySharedSettings.ini. This file is now located in a user specific Application Data folder.
To summarize:
| v. 5.1.0 and below | v. 5.1.1 and above | ||
| File name | Location | File name | Location |
| cw.ini | WINDOWS or WINNT folder | GloballySharedSettings.ini | \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CAST\CAST\<Version_Number> |
In addition, there are other application specific .INI configuration files whose storage location has also been changed. Among these are the following .INI configuration files which are referenced elsewhere in the on-line Help:
- anaman.ini
- adgadmin.ini
- enlighten.ini
- enlightenS.ini
- enlightenU.ini
- rbo.ini
- relbuild.ini
- rcenter.ini
- servman.ini
- sqlbuild.ini
- sqlbldo.ini
The location of these files has changed as follows:
| v. 5.1.0 and below | v. 5.1.1 and above |
| Location | Location |
| WINDOWS or WINNT folder | \Documents and Settings\<User_Name>[.<Domain_Name>]\Application Data\CAST\CAST\<Version_Number> |
