Configuring IBM Rational Rhapsody Gateway Types Files for Global Usage

Question & Answer

Question

How do I make a Gateway types file available globally?

Cause

Users might want to share customized types files for co-workers.

Answer

Following is a solution that allows the user to specify pieces of the Rhapsody Gateway configuration that will be loaded on startup:

Edit either the rg.ini located in the installation directory or the rg.ini file that is located in your %USERPROFILE%\Application Data directory.

Set the following INI settings:



[Files]

Config=$TOOL\config,<path_to_additional_config_on_server>

Then, your other configurations must have the following directory layout:



-> <path_to_additional_config_on_server>

   -> types

      -> Category1

         -> mytypeA.types

                ->  Category2

         -> mytypes.types

         ->  otscript

         ->  images

It is also possible to specify the customized Rhapsody Gateway configuration within a Shortcut:



"<path_to_Gateway>\bin.w32\rg.exe" "Config=$TOOL\config,<path_to_additional_config_on_server>" -exec openFromRhapsody

In the last case, you must use the shortcut instead of the Rhapsody Helper.
