When you are working with remote applications, each workstation on the network can have independent configuration settings that affect their behavior and appearance. Configuration files referred to as "workstation.INI" files enable you to specify application options and settings unique to a specific workstation.
Note: Remember; "workstation.INI" is not a literal name. Workstation configuration files are named after the associated workstation and are given extension, ".INI". For example, the workstation.INI configuration file for a workstation named "Workstation B" would be "WorkstationB.INI".
The structure of a workstation.INI file and the available settings are the same as those found in the Config.INI file; however, variables specified in the workstation.INI file will apply only to one workstation. Any values declared for variables in a workstaton.INI file will override any values declared for the same variable in the Config.INI configuration file. This is especially helpful when only a small percentage of the workstations are to behave and appear differently than the others. The configuration variables applicable to the majority of workstations can be specified in the Config.INI file, while the configuration variables applicable to the distinctive workstations can be specified in the workstation.INI files and will override those in the Config.INI file. Information on the hierarchy of configuration files can be found in "VTS Programmer's Guide: Configuration Files and Variables: Configuration File Hierarchy".
It is acceptable to have multiple workstation.INI configuration files within an application directory; workstations will obey only the workstation.INI file that features their name.
Further information on the configuration of workstation.INI files can be found in "VTS Programmer's Guide: Introduction to Workstation.INI.
