Using Individual Settings with Global Property Files
When global property files are enabled and configured, only the
administrator and, if so configured, selected operators, are allowed to
save and use individual settings. These users can save their settings in
their home directories without affecting the global settings files.
To grant permission to selected operators to save and use individual
property files, specify their user names, separated by commas, for the
variable OPC_JGUI_CONF_ALLOWED_USERS, for example:
/opt/OV/bin/ovconfchg -ovrg server -ns opc -set \
OPC_JGUI_CONF_ALLOWED_USERS opc_op,itoop
For all users that are treated as allowed users, the property files in their
local home directories are evaluated first, if they exist. Then the global
property files are loaded from the shared location.
Polling Global Configuration Changes
By default, Java GUI clients check every five minutes for changes to the
global property files in the shared location. If a change is detected, the
OVO Communication Status dialog box displays a message, which
informs the operator of the changes and requests a restart of the Java
GUI.
You can change the polling interval by specifying a value for the
parameter global_settings_poll_interval in the itooprc file.
For example, to set the polling interval to one minute, add the following
line to the itooprc file:
global_settings_poll_interval 1
