Configuration

The powerJobs Client.config file defines the scope of application of powerJobs Client. E.g. for which applications powerJobs Client will be loaded by using a VDF Vault connection.
The file is located under %LOCALAPPDATA%\coolOrange\powerJobs Client\powerJobs Client.config.

Per default powerJobs Client is configured to be loaded in the following applications: Vault Professional, Vault Workgroup, Inventor and AutoCad.
In the configuration the application name represents the actual process name.

Default configuration:

        <Applications>
                        <Application name="Acad" />
                        <Application name="Inventor" />
                        <Application name="Connectivity.VaultPro" />
                        <Application name="Connectivity.VaultWkg" />
        </Applications>
</Settings>

Changing the default configuration

In case you want to add or remove applications from the scope of powerJobs Client, follow these steps:

  1. Open the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\coolOrange\powerJobs Client\

  2. If there is no powerJobs Client.config, create it by copying the above default configuration. Otherwise go to step 3.

  3. Edit the file with an editor. We recommend XML editors like the XML Notepad from Microsoft.

  4. Add a new application element with the desired process name of the application or change/remove an existing application element

  5. Restart the according application

Example: Add the PowerShell ISE

If we want powerJobs Client to be loaded in an IDE like the PowerShell ISE while debugging powerEvents customization scripts or when scripting with powerVault, we have to extend the config file with a new application.
The process name of the PowerShell ISE is powershell_ise and is added as a new entry:

                        <Application name="Inventor" />
                        <Application name="Connectivity.VaultPro" />
                        <Application name="Connectivity.VaultWkg" />
                        <Application name="powershell_ise" />
        </Applications>
</Settings>
