Environment Variables

Important

The environment variables mentioned below are defined per user session. Different user sessions may have different environment variable values (e.g. in environments with multiple databases).
The variables will be set during the start of the ZeeBORN application.

%zeebornclient%

%ZeeBORNClient% is an Windows environment variable defined during the setup. This variable points to the local client directory where all client files of the system are installed.

Those Windows environment variables can be used within batch files or for other purposes where the info about directories used by the system is required.

Example

You can start the Backup tool from the command line (or PowerShell) by entering

:: testing connectiong to transfer server
%zeebornclient%\replicatorcli -backup

# testing connectiong to transfer server
.$env:zeebornclient\replicatorcli -test

%zeebornserver%

%zeebornserver% describes the server name and port of the database server. The value is formatted like

[server]:[port]

%zeebornshared%

%zeebornshared% points to a central network share as assigned by Administrator. This share is used for storing larger documents and attachments outside of the database.

This folder will be used for

storing replication files
storing log files

%zeeborndata% (obsolete)

This environment variable and the folder it is pointing to is no longer used. It was used by legacy versions of the ZeeBORN system based on Advantage Database Server. The variable may be still defined if the legacy version of ZeeBORN was used on the same system.
