If this menu option is selected, your choices are stored in CTGCFG.INI, for use in future sessions. A copy of CTGCFG.INI is created for each user in the %appdata%\IBM\CTG directory. If this directory cannot be resolved, the Java™ home directory is used. In this case, CTGCFG.INI is overwritten if another user alters the settings and saves them in the Java home directory.

If the system administrator has designated %appdata%\IBM\CTG as a roaming folder, your preferences are used when you run the Configuration Tool on any computer on the network.

Notes:
  1. The file is not deleted if the CICS® Universal Client is uninstalled. It remains on the system unless manually deleted and will be reused if the product is reinstalled.
  2. To restore the default settings, close the Configuration Tool, delete file CTGCFG.INI, and then restart the Configuration Tool.
  3. When you close the Configuration Tool, a message is displayed if file CTGCFG.INI cannot be written, even if you have deselected the Save on exit menu option. Click OK to clear the message and close the Configuration Tool.
