The CONNECTDIR environment variable specifies the most recently installed synergyde\connect directory.

The connect subdirectory of the synergyde directory.

On Windows, CONNECTDIR is set by the Connectivity Series feature of the 32-bit Synergy/DE installation (when it is installed on a 32-bit operating system) and the 32-bit and 64-bit Synergy/DE Client installations. It is also set when you run dblvars32.bat or dblvars64.bat to set up 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Synergy/DE on a 64-bit operating system.

On Unix, CONNECTDIR is set by setsde; on OpenVMS, it’s set by SYS$MANAGER:CONNECT_STARTUP.COM.

Important

You should not change this or any other environment variable that is set by the system.

Use CONNECTDIR in a .INCLUDE statement to specify the location for the ssql.def file as follows:

.include "CONNECTDIR:ssql.def"

See also Including ssql.def.

CONNECTDIR is used by the Windows SynSQL service to determine the location of the ODBC shared memory mapped cache file and by the SQL Connection driver build files on Unix and OpenVMS.
