What is the start directory of Managed NX and how is it defined? 



Solution

Look in the %TC_ROOT%\portal\start_nxmanager.bat file. 
There is a section that defines the %START_DIR%.


====================================== 
set START_DIR=%API_DEFAULT_DIR% 
if "%START_DIR%"=="" set START_DIR=%HOME% 
if "%START_DIR%"=="" set START_DIR=%TC_TMP_DIR% 
if "%START_DIR%"=="" set START_DIR=%UGII_TMP_DIR% 
if "%START_DIR%"=="" set START_DIR=%TEMP% 
rem 
cd /d %START_DIR% 
======================================


When launching NX Integration, this section will be used to first look for the 
variable %API_DEFAULT_DIR%... 
If this is not found, it will look for %HOME% 
If this is not found, it will look for %TC_TMP_DIR% 
If this is not found, it will look for %UGII_TMP_DIR% 
And if this is not found, it will use %TEMP%


As an example, NX Integration may actually get to UGII_TMP_DIR and uses this 
variable. This variable is defined in the UGII_BASE_DIR\UGII\ugii_env_ug.dat 
file. 
But this value may be overwritten to have a different value in the 
UGII_BASE_DIR\UGII\ugii_env.dat file, or by defining UGII_TMP_DIR as a system 
variable.
