Directory Variable Conventions
ECXpert documentation makes use of two directory variables whose values depend on the platform on which ECXpert and TradingXpert are installed. Table 3 describes these variables and explains how they are used.
Table 3 DirectoryVariables
|
Variable
|
Description
|
|
BDGHOME
|
This is an ECXpert environment variable that specifies the location of the ECXpert installed software.
BDGHOME = Root_ECX_Install/NS-apps/ECXpert
Root_ECX_Install is the root installation directory of ECXpert software.
On Windoes NT or Windows 2000, if you installed ECXpert in the C:\Apps\ directory, the value of BDGHOME would be
C:\Apps\NS-apps\ECXpert
On Solaris, if you installed ECXpert in the directory MyECX, the value of BDGHOME would be
/MyECX/NS-apps/ECXpert
|
|
TX_HOME
|
This variable is used in the documentation to refer to the root TradingXpert installation directory.
When you install TradingXpert standalone, you can select any directory in which to install TradingXpert files.
TX_HOME = arbitrary installation directory
When you install TradingXpert along with ECXpert, TradingXpert files are installed in the Root_ECX_Install/TX directory:
On Windows NT or Windows 2000, if you installed ECXpert in the C:\Apps\ directory, TX_HOME would be
C:\Apps\TX
On Solaris, if you installed ECXpert in the directory MyECX, TX_HOME would be
/MyECX/TX
For more information about these two configurations, see ECXpert/TradingXpert Configurations
|
In this guide, BDGHOME and TX_HOME are shown without platform-specific environment variable notation or syntax (for example, $BDGHOME and $TX_HOME on UNIX).
