Retain tag value and parameters

When you use multiple managed InTouch applications on one node, all applications use the same directory. If you configure tag data or parameters to be retained and you switch applications, the run-time data is lost.

Configure retention in a managed InTouch application

1. Open the managed InTouch application with WindowMaker from the IDE.

2. On the File menu, point to Configure, and then select WindowViewer.

   The WindowViewer Properties screen appears.

3. Select the Managed Application tab.

4. In the Local Working Directory box, type the name of a unique existing directory. This is the name of the directory on the target run-time node. You can also use special characters to specify the local working directory path. The following table illustrates the special characters that you can use:

   Special Character	Local Working Directory Path
   %SystemDrive%	System drive. For example, "C:"
   %USER%	Name of the logged-on user. If WindowViewer is running as a service, the application is copied to "All Users"
   %APPDATA%	Logged-on user's Application Data. If WindowViewer is running as a service, the application is copied to "All Users" Application Data
   %ITUSER%	Logged-on user. If WindowViewer is running as a service or in a console session, the application is copied to "All Users"
   %ITAPPDATA%	Logged-on user's Application Data. If WindowViewer is running as a service or in a console session, the application is copied to "All Users" Application Data
