preferences
preferences applicable to the setprefs and viewprefs commands
Description
The setprefs and viewprefs commands refer to the same group of commands and preference keys for the Windchill RV&S component you are configuring (si, im, aa, integrity). This reference page is provided as a guide to the preferences you can configure. To see each component's specific keys, simply append the command to the viewprefs command. For example,
si viewprefs --command=co
displays all of the view preferences for the si co command.
Preference Keys
The preference keys you can specify for the above commands are often similar, and some are global preferences such that when you change it for one command, it changes for all. The following are some common preference keys:
• allowImplicitIdentification
controls whether to allow the implicit identification and selection of Sandboxes. This means that you can use commands without explicitly specifying a -S Sandbox option, and Windchill RV&S determines the Sandbox to operate on based on the directory you're working in. Valid values are true or false.
• cwd
identifies a working directory for the command. In particular, any relative files and members in the selection are treated as being in that directory.
• command.batchMode
a global key that controls batch mode. Batch mode forces the application to process commands without prompting for responses. Valid values are false, true.
• developmentPath
specifies a particular development path to use with the command all the time.
• filter
specifies a filter to use with the command all the time.
• forceConfirm
specifies whether to force the application to request confirmation for the particular command.
• includeFormers
specifies whether to include members that have been dropped from the project.
• projectName
specifies a particular Windchill RV&S project to work with all the time.
• projectRevision
specifies a particular Windchill RV&S configuration management project checkpoint to work with all the time.
• recurse
controls whether to recurse into subprojects.
• sandbox.allowProjectSelection
a global key that controls whether to allow Windchill RV&S configuration management project selection. Valid values are false, true.
• sandbox.allowSandboxSelection
a global key that controls whether to allow Sandbox selection. Valid values are false, true.
• sandboxName
specifies a particular Sandbox to be used all the time.
• selectionFile
specifies a file that lists member files to work with.
• server.credential
a global key that identifies the credential, or password, for logging into the Windchill RV&S Server.
• server.hostname
a global key that identifies the hostname for the Windchill RV&S Server.
• server.port
a global key that identifies the port for the Windchill RV&S Server.
• server.user
a global key that identifies the user name for logging into the Windchill RV&S Server.
• socksProxyHost
a global key that identifies the SOCKS proxy host.
• socksProxyPort
a global key that identifies the SOCKS proxy port.
• status.popupDelay
a global key that controls the duration, in milliseconds (ms), that the commands status appears in the graphical user interface or the command line interface.
• swing.lookAndFeel
