These environment variables, with the exception of VORTEX_HOST_NOSEM, are required and are set automatically by the installation (Windows), the setsde script (UNIX), or the SYS$MANAGER:CONNECT_STARTUP.COM command file (OpenVMS). See Configuring Connectivity Series for more information on setsde and CONNECT_STARTUP.COM.

Environment variable |
Purpose |
Comments |
|---|---|---|
|
CONNECTDIR |
Set to the location of the synergyde\connect directory. |
On Windows, CONNECTDIR is set by the installation on 32-bit operating systems or when you run dblvars64.bat or dblvars32.bat to set up 64-bit or 32-bit versions of Synergy/DE on a 64-bit operating system. The installation does not set this environment variable on 64-bit Windows. |
|
SODBC_DBA |
Set to the directory that contains the DBA program (which is xfdba.dbr on Windows and UNIX and xfdba.exe on OpenVMS). |
Although it’s seldom necessary, you can change this setting. For client/server configurations, SODBC_DBA must be set on the server. When you install xfODBC on 64-bit Windows systems, SODBC_DBA is not set automatically; it must be set system-wide or in synergy.ini under the [synergy] heading. |
|
VORTEX_HOME |
Set to the directory (connect\synodbc) that contains the lib subdirectory, which contains the net.ini file. This file is used for encryption and other SQL OpenNet settings. |
On Windows, because VORTEX_HOME is set at the system level, if you install both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Connectivity Series on the same 64-bit Windows machine, the last version installed determines the VORTEX_HOME setting by overwriting the previous setting. |
|
VORTEX_HOST_HIDEGPF |
Prevents the SQL OpenNet server from hanging if a thread fails. |
This is set in opennet.std, and we don’t recommend changing it. |
|
VORTEX_HOST_NOSEM |
When set to 1, causes SQL OpenNet to crash when there’s an access violation, enabling you to attach the Windows debugger. |
This should be used only at the request of Synergy/DE Developer Support. For more information, see VORTEX_HOST_NOSEM. |
|
VTXIPC_SO |
Set to the full path and filename of the vtxipc_so.exe shared image. |
This setting should not be changed. |
|
XFODBCUSR_SO |
Set to the full path and filename of the xfodbcusr_so.exe shared image, which contains routines for user-defined data. |
This file must be named xfodbcusr_so.exe, but you may create your own routines and overwrite it. See XFODBCUSR_SO. |
