  35. Config: Environment files (system, ilink, ibistro, etc)

  36. Config: Types of Environment Files • ibistro.env, ilink.env - delivered files (global defaults) of environment variables (do not edit these files) • system.env – customized system-wide file of environment variables (overrides global defaults) • envn#.env – customized files of environment variables for individual user login environments (overrides global defaults and system.env)

  37. Why Switch from RevC to RevD Page Set? • E-library “look” with CSS stylesheets that can be customized • Some customizations or environment variables require RevD • RevC supported in maintenance mode or “as is” for 3.3.1+ • RevD for 3.3.1+ brings new e-library features (Admin IU and LDAP authentication)

  38. Moving from RevC to RevD Page Set • Contact SirsiDynix if you need RevD installed • Recommended – use RevD test environment prior to changing from RevC to RevD • Check current RevC custom pages and images to see what customizations will need put in place on RevD • Go live with RevD by changing two variables in the system.env file PAGES_SET|Elib_revD| IMG_OTHER|MiscD|

  39. Environment Variables: Radio Search Buttons
