When you specify a form or script to run on startup, the pathname of the file is stored in a file named scripts.ini. By making this a shared directory pointed to by each user’s WDIR environment variable, groups of users can run the same forms and scripts when an application starts up.
For example, some applications will try to run each script/form in every scripts.ini file that they find. They use all scripts.ini files that they find in the project directory and every directory in WDIR. The application must be specified for the AutoActive tools.
The AutoActive tools (Xpedition Layout, Xpedition FabLink, Xpedition Layout Team Server, and so on) also look in the <mgc_home./release/SDD_HOME/standard/automation/startup directory. Users can place company-wide information in the scripts.ini in this location.
