System Setup

This section allows the administrator to view and configure the AMT environment. The four available tabs and their respective settings are described below.

Before continuing, to learn how to configure the Base Setup, Basepaths, Logging Configurations, and Runtime Behaviour Configurations, please visit the page Control Center Set-Up.

Base Setup

Base Setup controls the entire system's setup.

The following Base Setup settings are available:

Environment
The name of this AMT environment. The name can be chosen freely.

Local time zone

The following environment variables can be used for default paths:

Variable	Description	Example
%SYSROOT%	The root directory of the AMT Java environment.	%SYSROOT%\Logging
%APPNAME%	The name of the application.	%SYSROOT%\Scripts\%APPNAME%
%APPROOT%	The application base path as defined in the Application settings.
%USER%	The username of the current user.	%SYSROOT%\Files\Uploads\%APPNAME%\%USER%

Opening an existing Basepath lists the Configurations and Applications making use of this basepath configuration, and all available Basepath settings. The following settings can be configured when adding a new or editing a Basepath:

Script path
The path to the directory where the scripts are located.
