If you use PVCS, each application can now have a configuration file associated with it. The name of the configuration file will be stored in the PB.INI file for each application, similar to the way the library list is stored. When a user switches applications, PowerBuilder will automatically switch to the correct archive directories based on information stored in the configuration file.

To specify a configuration file, you can select the Configuration option from the Source menu.

In the private configuration file you specify the user id and the archive directories. To specify archive directories, you select them in the directory tree and then click the Add button. To remove a directory from the Archive Directories list, select it and click the Remove button. If you do not specify a configuration file, PowerBuilder will use the values in VCS.CFG.

If you click on the User ID button, you will be prompted to enter a User ID.

To save the configuration File, click the File button.

When you register an object using the Library painter Source/Registration option, you are now prompted to specify the archive directory. The selection list contains all archive directories specified in the configuration file for the application.
