Notes on Built-in Applications


A few of the built-in applications behaviors can be changed or need a little additional help to work. This page contains the information to accomplish this.

NX Online Documentation

By default, this application assumes that the NX online documentation is located at ${UGII_BASE_DIR}/ugdoc. However, you can change this by defining UGII_UGDOC_BASE_DIR to point to where the documentation is installed. This can be a web server or a served file system. For example, to redirect the application to use a web server that has the ugdoc directory at the root level:

  1. Start DSL configure program
  2. Select the Site icon to bring up the site settings panel.
  3. Select the Common tab
  4. Press the '+' button below the Other Variables table
  5. Double-click the empty cell under the Name column and enter UGII_UGDOC_BASE_DIR
  6. Double-click the empty cell under the Value column and enter http://<web server>/ugdoc
  7. Save Changes

Now when you launch the NX online documentation, the URL http://<web server>/ugdoc/html_files/mainlibrary.html will be loaded in the web browser. Note that the html_files subdirectory is being preserved.

TcEng Online Documentation

The TcEng Online Documentation must be configured before it will properly function. You do this by defining the environment variable TCENG_DOC_BASE_DIR where the base directory of the documentation is located. Refer to the NX Online Documentation note above for an example on setting the variable. The URL being used is $TCENG_DOC_BASE_DIR/index.htm.
