Edit the fc.env File

In the pages directory of the virtual server directory you created in Configure the Web Server, you will find a file named fc.env. This file is very similar to the clarify.env file that you are familiar with. It contains the login information that you need to create the FCApplication object for your web server.

Edit this file with the login information for your database.

• db_server - The Server name of the DB server (MSSQL), or the SID name (Oracle)
• db_name - The name of the database
• login_name - The username to use when creating the application object. It can be most any valid username. 'sa' is commonly used.
• db_password - The password for the login_name
• db_type - This is either "MSSQL" or "ORACLE". This is different than base Clarify, because Dovetail Agent supports either database system. - you don't need a specific version of Dovetail Agent for different database types
• midnight - A time string, such as "12:00:00 AM". This is only used for Oracle 7 databases. This is part of a workaround for a bug in the OLEDB drivers for Oracle that only affects Oracle 7 databases. If you are not using an Oracle 7 database, do not use this parameter.

To define a logging configuration file

When using the Dovetail SDK, you can define a logging configuration file in the fc.env file. For example:

compat_logconfigfile=C:\dovetail\agent\agent_logging.config

The logging configuration file allows for sophisticated logging configuration. Refer to the Dovetail SDK documentation for more information about configuring logging.

To use the Switch User functionality

To use the Switch User functionality with the Dovetail SDK, add the following entry to the fc.env file:

fchoice.sessionpasswordrequired=false
