Does anyone know of a way to run a FEX without running EDASPROF.

The reason we need to do this is because we change settings in EDASPROF and if we have a problem then we need to know if a SET command in the EDASPROF is causing it. Without EDASPROF SET is returned to its defaults.

Currently I have a -GOTO END which I uncomment after the base OPSYS CONNECTION is defined (would not be able to login otherwise). However this means disruption to other users and I have to do this late at night which is a pain.

Or would I be better putting SET commands in the site profile.

How do people out there solve this problem?

By not putting SET commands in EDASPROF, but instead, putting them in an INCLUDEd program or some other kind of profile.

I don't think that there is a way that you can bypass edasprof, but you could set up a user profile for your ID which could reset the values that your setting in the server profile.

Or set up a second SERVICE on the server, each Service can have their own profile. But gthen you would have to use a different server name on the client side.

You can override the Edasprof file.

every connection to the server intially references the EDASPROF by design. That's what it is- EDA Server PROFile, meaning if you use the server, those are the settings you get. I don't think there's a way around that one. As mentioned, you do have options by using the user profiles as well (or -INCLUDEs as Francis mentions.)

Darin is correct. If you don't at least have an EDAPATH or APP set the server won't be able to find the fex in any case. However your fex can then reset anything that would normally be in edasprof. You can set a new EDAPATH, you can set Connection strings etc.

You can try the "Service Profile"

http://documentation.informationbuilders.com/masterinde...vadm713/01intro6.htm

It's one level down from the EDASPROF and is basically another FEX that the server executes.

It may give you the desired affect.
