Path

There are a number of paths that ConnectMaster uses to save files. Not every user wants to use the standard paths. Here is an overview of the paths, their default setting and how to change them.

Path	Description	Default
CM_REPORT	Folder where the crystal reports are located	%CM_SYSTEM%\reports\crystal
CM_EXPORT	Folder for export/import of XML-Files	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\ConnectMaster\Export
CM_HELP	Ordner für CM Hilfedateien	%CM_SYSTEM%\helps
CM_MAPINFO	Ordner für Mapinfo Dateien	%CM_SYSTEM%\Mapinfo
CM_USERDATA	Folder where the user data is located	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\AdminTool\data
CM_MAPSTYLES	Folder where the customer map styles are located	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\ConnectMaster\mapinfo
CM_VISDRAW	Folder for MS Visio drawings	%USERPROFILE%\visio
CM_VISTEMPLATE	Folder where the customer Visio templates (vst-files) are located	%USERPROFILE%\visio
CM_VISSTENCIL	Folder where the customer Visio stencil (vss-files) are located	%USERPROFILE%\visio
CM_WORK	Folder for the log file	%APPDATA%\DynamicDesign\ConnectMaster

The paths can be redefined in the CMstartup.bat file under “rem User Data Variables:”

With the command set CM_*=File path, the paths can be changed.

For example “set CM_REPORT=%CM_SYSTEM%\reports\crystal”

Logging

The Logging settings in the library are only valid temporarily (the present users session). These parameters however can also be defined in the CMstartup.bat file under „Variables for CM LOG:“ with which they are valid for every session.

Setting	Description

CM_LOGWORKFLOW=yes/no	The workflow is logged
CM_LOGEVENTS=yes/no	Events are logged

The settings can also be defined with the command set..
