Editing the USA_DataManagerSettings.properties file

The USA_DataManagerSettings.properties file contains file path and User Dictionary variables that need to be updated prior to using the User Dictionary Writer.

1. Locate the USA_DataManagerSettings.properties file in the /udwriter/config folder.
2. Open the file using a text editor.
   By default the USA_DataManagerSettings.properties file appears as follows:

   
   # Properties used by MapMarker UDCreator GUI
   #
   # Optional - The number of dictionaries to be loaded.  DEFAULT=1 
   DICTIONARY_COUNT=1
   
   # Required - The path to the highest ranking dictionary (GeoStan data files)
   # Note that DICTIONARY_PATH is required from 1 to DICTIONARY_COUNT.
   
   # This information must be updated for your installation.  It specifies the location of the GeoStan data (using forward slashes).
   
   DICTIONARY_PATH1=/home/g1ntest/udwriter/DVDGDT
   
   # If us.z9 file is in a different folder than DICTIONARY_PATH1 then uncomment the following line and update to its path (using forward slashes).
   # In addition, change DICTIONARY_COUNT above to 2.
   #DICTIONARY_PATH2=C:/Program Files (x86)/Centrus/z9data
   
   
   # Enter license file path (using forward slashes) and password
   LICENSE_FILE=/home/g1ntest/udwriter/all_12345678_eap.lic
   PASSWORD=12345678

   #
   GEOSTAN_INSTANCE_COUNT=1

4. In the LICENSE_FILE and PASSWORD fields, add the paths to the location of your license file and password.
