Session Switches

Session switches are UNIX environment variables whose names begin with APEX_. You set them the same way you set any UNIX environment variables. Through the GUI, use the Tools > Session > Environment dialog box.

Or, in the C shell:

Or in the Bourne or Korn shell:

Note: Session switch names are case-sensitive. Use all uppercase.

When you start Apex with the apexinit command, it sets several session switches —— that is, environment variables —— for you, but it does not override the values of any session switches that you have already set unless you use the -reset option for apexinit. For more information, see the apexinit manual page.

To see the session switches that you or apexinit have set, use the Tools > Session > Environment command.

Or, you can enter this command in the C shell:

Or you can enter this command in the Bourne or Korn shell:

To see a table of all session switches and their current values, you can use Control > Show > Switches (Apex/Summit).

If you or apexinit have not explicitly set a switch, its default value is shown. Changes to your session switches do not take effect until you exit and restart Apex.

A list of the session switches can be found in the index under the heading "Session Switches". Each switch is also individually listed in the index.
