pla-redirect.properties

Use the pla-redirect.properties file to override the path where the system reads and writes properties files.

Location

%ProgramData%\Stegmann Systems\PLA 3.0

Encoding

The encoding is ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1). You have to enter all non-Latin-1 characters using \ as an escape character. Examples: Enter the special character : as \: and the special character \ as \\.

Editing

To edit the properties file, you can use any standard text editor.

Available key

The following key is available:

com.stegmannsystems.edp.system.PropertiesPath

Overrides the path where the system reads and writes properties files. Modify the value to set a global path that can be used by several computers running PLA 3.0.

Valid value:

A (UNC-) path that can be accessed by the system.

Example: Z:\\Share\\Settings\\
