Specify the path of dse.ini

The variable dseIniPath is the key clew for BTT to locate the des.ini and other external files required for BTT initialization. There are three ways to specify the path of dse.ini:
  1. Define an JNDI name: dseIniPath in cell scope in WebSphere® admin console. It is to avoid defining dse.ini file path in multiple places. Instead, the dse.ini path is defined in a central place
    1. Open WebSphere Application Server admin console, and select Environment > Naming > Name Space Bindings
    2. Click New .
    3. Enter dseIniPath in the Binding Identifier field.
    4. Enter cell/persistent/comp/env/dseIniPath in the Name in Name Space.
    5. Enter des.in file path, such as c:\\dse\\dse.ini, in String Value.

      Screen capture showing the new name space binding.

    6. Click Next.
    7. Click Finish to save the definition.
    8. Restart the WebSphere Application Server.
  2. Define an Environment Variable dseIniPath in web.xml in a web project or ejb-jar.xml in an EJB project.
  3. Use the default dse.ini path. If the dse.ini path is not defined in the two ways above, the default dse.ini path will work. The default path is /des.ini.
