SystemFileDirectory

String (disk-path)

Installation directory

Purpose

The SystemFileDirectory parameter enables you to specify a different location for your system map files (that is, the _system.bin, _sysgui.bin, _sysxrf.bin, _sysint.bin, _sysdef.bin, _sysdev.bin, _systools.bin, _ jadeapp.bin, and _ jadedef.bin files). JADE looks for these files in the directory specified by this parameter. The location of other database files is not affected.

The default value of SystemFileDirectory=<default> specifies that JADE looks for the system map files in the installation directory (commonly known as the bin directory).

If the system map files are located in a different directory, use this parameter to specify the name of the directory in which the files are located; for example:

SystemFileDirectory=\sysdb

Parameter is read when …

The database server node is initialized; for example, when you restart the database server.

Hint

Use this parameter when you have multiple JADE databases and you want to conserve disk space. Because the system map files are common to every database, you can put them into a common directory and share them across all databases, by using this parameter.

The database path cannot be greater than 260 characters.
