Setting the environment variable for JSON files data storage

Configure App Connect for Manufacturing to use JSON files for data storage by using an environment variable.

Edit /etc/bashrc file in any terminal text editor and enter the following lines.

• Set JSON files data storage by running the following command:

  export USE_DATABASE= "false"

  Note: By default, JSON files are used to store data source details, and client item mappings even if the environment variable is not set.
• Set the directory path to store the JSON files by running the following command:

  For example, specify the path to store your JSON files.

  export ACMFG_MAPPING_FILES_DIR= "<user_home_dir>/Mapping_JSON"

  Note: By default the following directory path will be used to store the JSON files, if the environment variable is not set.

  <user_home_dir>/.acmfg/mappings

Set the variable from Windows Environment Variables user interface.

1. Click Start > Settings > About > Adavanced system settings > Environment variables.
2. In the System variables pane, click New and add the following details.

   Variable name	Value
   USE_DATABASE	Specify false. Note: By default, JSON files are used to store data source details, and client item mappings even if the USE_DATABASE environment variable is not set.
   ACMFG_MAPPING_FILES_DIR	Specify a directory path to store the JSON files. For example, C:\Mapping_JSON. Note: If the environment variable is not set, by default the following directory path will be used to store the JSON files. <user_home_dir>/.acmfg/mappings
