Set the environment variables

The database connection for this quick start requires the FGLPROFILE and DBPATH environment variables. FGLPROFILE specifies the configuration file that provides access to the sample databases. DBPATH specifies the location of the database file at runtime.

  1. Select the fglprofile file located in the My Genero Files/samples/OfficeStoreRes/ directory and copy it to the config directory of your project directory, replacing the existing file.
  2. Select Tools > Genero Configurations.
    The Genero Configuration Management dialog opens.
  3. Under Configuration Name, select a mobile configuration (Androidâ„¢ or iOS).
  4. Edit the FGLPROFILE environment variable.
    1. Under Environment Sets, right-click on "Profile" and select Duplicate.
      An environment set called "Profile_2" is created. Double-click on "Profile_2" and rename it to "Profile - MobileTest".
