Exporting and importing registry entries based settings

Installation and Configuration

Command and Utility Reference : Managing installation configurations : configutil : Exporting and importing registry entries based settings

By default, the configutil.properties file does not contain registry entries for export. You must manually add the registry path and the entries to the $DLC/install/configbackup/configutil.properties file as follows:

[HKLM:\Software\PSC\PROGRESS\{version}]

Here are the short forms of the registry hives:

• HKCR - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
• HKCU - HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
• HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
• HKU - HKEY_USERS.
• HKCC - HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG.
• HKPD - HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA.

How to override a setting the Window’s registry:

As in the above image of the registry entries, if you want to forcibly overwrite WorkPath which is contained at the level of 11.7ALPHA node (node 0) and do not want to overwrite JDKHOME under JAVA node (which is a child node), add the following in the configutil.properties file to set DONT_OVERRIDE or FORCE_OVERRIDE entries:

[HKCU:\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\{version}]
FORCE_OVERRIDE:.WorkPath
DONT_OVERRIDE:(/JAVA) JDKHOME
