Setting Up Data Access > Setting Up Rogue Wave Views and Data Access on Windows XP and Vista


Note: For Rogue Wave Views DB Link, you do not need to set up environment variables except for compiling, which is described in the README file.

1. Set the ILVHOME variable.

The ILVHOME variable must be set to the Rogue Wave® Views installation directory. To do this, open the Configuration Panel in the Main group, then double-click on the System icon. This opens a panel where you can define new variables. Use this panel to define the ILVHOME variable as:

C:\ILOG\VIEWSXX

Do not close the panel as you will need to use it again.

or add the following lines to the VIEWS.INI file:

[Ilog Views]

IlvHome=C:\ILOG\VIEWSXX

The file must be located in the directory where Windows NT is installed.

2. Set the PATH variable.

The directory containing Rogue Wave Views DLLs must be added to the PATH variable. To do this, use the System panel to define the PATH variable as:

C:\ILOG\VIEWSXX\LIB\<system>\<subsystem>;%PATH%

C:\ILOG\DBLINKXX\LIB\<system>\<subsystem>;%PATH%

or copy the DLLs into a directory of the path.

3. Click OK to validate your changes.
