Setting a System Property or Environment Variable

Setting a system property or environment variable depends on the operating system you are using (see below). After setting a property, you need to (re)start Cadenza for the property to get picked up.

If you do not configure a property/variable, the internal Cadenza default is used.

Windows

On Windows, add an environment variable to the setenv.bat file of your Cadenza installation like this:

set <variable-name>=<variable-value>

Although, Windows paths usually use backslashes (\) as path separators, for the environment variables, slashes (/) have to be used. For example, to set the CADENZA_THEMES_PATH to H:\CadenzaWebTheming\, you’d add:

set CADENZA_THEMES_PATH=H:/CadenzaWebTheming/

Linux / Mac

On Linux or Mac, add a system property to the setenv.sh file of your Cadenza installation like this:

-D<property-name>="<property-value>"

The property value needs to be wrapped in quotes ("). For example, to set the CADENZA_THEMES_PATH to /home/CadenzaWebTheming/, you’d add:

-DCADENZA_THEMES_PATH="/home/CadenzaWebTheming/"
