Have Rhapsody utilize a specific initialization file.

Question & Answer


Question

How can I have IBM Rhapsody read a specific rhapsody.ini file?

Answer

When the Rhapsody is started, the application will first read the rhapsody.ini file that will define a number of environmental variables for Rhapsody to utilize. The rhapsody.ini file is maintained on your system with the need for the user to have Write access to the file.

Rhapsody looks for the initialization file in the following locations:

1. In the directory in which the rhapsody.exe is located
2. The users directory. For example: c:\users\username\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody\<version_number>
3. ProgramDate or All User Directory when software is installed for all users
4. The Windows directory

If you would like to specify where Rhapsody should look for the rhapsody.ini file, you can use the following command line switch when starting Rhapsody:

Rhapsody.exe -iniFile=c:\test\rhapsody.ini
