You can customize Relational Design Center to suit your operational preferences by overriding the default properties of the utility. These properties affect areas such as server connection, look and feel, tracing, and fonts.
Perform the following steps to customize Relational Design Center:
-
Launch Relational Design Center.
A directory named \.MCPSQL is created in your user home directory. A file named rdc.properties is also created with all property settings commented out.
-
Using a text editor, change the properties for which you want to use values other than the defaults.
If MCPSQL utilities cannot find the property in rdc.properties, provider.properties is searched.
You change a property by removing the number sign character (#) at the beginning of a property name and editing the corresponding value. Refer to Default Properties for a list of the properties you can customize.
-
Save the file in the \.MCPSQL directory.
The modified properties take effect the next time you launch Relational Design Center.
If MCPSQL utilities cannot find or create a properties file in the \.MCPSQL directory, the program uses the default settings in the property file residing inside the .jar file.
