Environment Variables
There are seven new environment variables for all platforms:
II_W4GL_EXPORT_FORMAT
Specifies the default export format for the “w4gl backupapp out” command. Valid values are:
• EXP (default) – Specifies OpenROAD proprietary ASCII format
• XML – Specifies XML format
If this environment variable is not set, or is set to any other value, EXP format will be used for export.
II_W4GL_EXPORT_INDENTED
Specifies whether XML indentation is included in export files created by the ExportApp utility or “w4gl backupapp out” command. Valid values are:
• TRUE – Specifies that XML element indentation is used in the XML export file. Including indentation can increase export file size by 50% over OpenROAD proprietary ASCII format.
• FALSE (default) – Specifies that XML element indentation is not used. Whitespace characters (tabs, spaces, newlines) are not included. Therefore, XML elements are not separated onto different lines, and subnodes are not indented in a hierarchy.
II_W4GL_IMPORT_FORMAT
Specifies the default import format for the “w4gl backupapp in” command. Valid values are:
• EXP (default) – Specifies OpenROAD proprietary ASCII format
• XML – Specifies XML format
If this environment variable is not set, or is set to any other value, EXP format is tried first. If import fails, XML format is then used.
II_W4GL_IMPORT_XSD
Specifies the full path to a URL or a file that contains the XML schema definition (XSD) for the XML export format. If this variable is set, the referenced XSD will be used for validation when importing applications or components from XML-based export files.
II_W4GL_PORTLETBLOCKING_DEFAULT
Specifies the default portlet blocking behavior for applications started with this environment variable set. The setting will be used for all CALLFRAME statements issued from within a portlet script.
This environment variable is checked only at application startup; therefore, changing its value within an application has no effect. Valid values include:
• PB_GUESTFRAME (system default) – value = 0
• PB_HOSTFRAME – value = 1
• PB_GUESTFIELD – value = 2
II_W4GL_TRACE_TIMESTAMP
Specifies whether to start each trace message in the trace window and log file with the timestamp in square brackets. Possible values are:
• TRUE – Specifies that each trace message is preceded with the timestamp
• FALSE – Specifies that trace messages are not timestamped
II_W4GL_TRACE_WRAPPED
Specifies whether the message will be wrapped in the log file. (This variable is for backward compatibility.) Possible values are:
• TRUE – Specifies that the messages will be wrapped in the log file in the same way they are in the Trace window. This behavior was the default in previous OpenROAD releases.
• FALSE – (Default) Specifies that the messages will not be wrapped in the log file as they are in the Trace window
