ODE option hierarchy

The ODABA GUI Framework refers to several default sections in the option hierarchy. On top, the might be any number of global options, which do not depend on specific applications (e.g. the debug option OSI_DEBUG).

The application section, which refers to the name of the executable (code or ode) contains option variables defining the application's data source and other application related settings. Both, global and application settings may be referred to by the option name (without being prefixed by the section name).

The Options section contains several options supported by the ODABA GUI framework or defined within the application.

In order to record and replay ODABA GUI sessions, activity log options may be defined below ACTIVITY_LOG. Common GUI framework options may be defined in the GUIFramework section. Special settings for system input and output operations may be defined under SystemIO.
