Each user has a separate set of configuration files. When you launch the Data Validation Client, Data Validation Option uses the information from preferences.xml and DVconfig.properties to launch the client application with the proper environment configuration. You launch Data Validation Client from a .bat file.

Store the configuration files in the user configuration directory. The user configuration directory contains environment configuration files, log files, reports, and temporary files. Data Validation option creates a user configuration directory for each user. By default, you can find the user configuration directory in the following location:

C:\Users\<user name>\DataValidator\

Data Validation Option uses following environment configuration files:

preferences.xml

Contains configuration properties that you configure in the Data Validation Client preferences that you configure in the

Preferences

dialog box. Each user that shares access to one Data Validation Client requires a preferences file. Store the preferences file in the user configuration directory.

DVConfig.properties

Contains database and user information that the Data Validation Client uses when you launch the tool. Store the properties file in the user configuration directory.
