Description of the Coeus.ini file

 

Section

description

[Database]

Contains information necessary to connect to your database.  The only change you should have to make is the ServerName.  If you are using Oracle 8, you can still use the Oracle 7 driver (DBMS entry).

[School]

Value for Name is used in reports (Award Notice, proposal Notice..) where a school name is printed.

Acronym is used where MIT is used.

[Narrative]

Contains information for saving the proposal narrative.

Activex = 0 is the normal setting. ‘1’ indicates that Acrobat reader will open as an Active X control inside Powerbuilder.

 

ReaderPath – defines the path for the location of Acrobat Reader on client machine

 

TEMP -  PDF files are stored in the database as Binary Large Objects (BLOBS). When you try to view a PDF file, Coeus will retrieve the Blob and write it to the directory specified in this entry. Coeus then calls Adobe Reader, passing it the path and file name. When you close Adobe Reader, the file in the temp directory will be deleted.  If you don’t have anything in this entry initially when you log into Coeus, Coeus will update this entry in the ini file. NOTE: The Coeus installer will create a temp directory as a subdirectory of the install directory.

 

{Feed}

Defines the directories on the server where Coeus will write files used for its external system feeds.  This is only used by MIT.

[Application]

Used to control the viewing of the initial information

message. The value of  ‘message_seen’ in this section

should initially be set to 0.

MacPrinterApp = path where the ShowPages application resides.

 

[EDI]
