oa_preffiles can be stored in 4 locations:
–OA_ADMIN –top level configuration –often the same as OA_INSTALL
–OA_INSTALL –Installation level (location of executables)
–HOME –users personal home area
–Current working directory (rarely used)
•Oasys software will read the oa_preffiles in the order above. When modifying preferences from within the software, if you get the option shown on the previous slide, it is because you have permission to change the preferences stored in the installation area. If you do have permission and choose not to modify the installation preferences, any preference modifications will be saved in the HOME area.
•If you do not have permission to change installation preferences, any preference modifications will be saved in the HOME area.
