How to change the number of connections in History

ArndW · Post by **ArndW** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:59 am

I've been searching the registry entries looking for the key which I might be able to change in order to get my history of connected hosts/projects increased from the value of 5 to something quite a bit larger - I'm tired of trying to recall all the different host/project/port combinations and of having to retype them in each time.

I thought I had seen a post on this subject but I haven't found anything using the search facility.

Can anyone point me at the correct registry entry?

I recall this conversation but nothing specific to your question... and I couldn't find anything either. :cry:

As a start point, investigate
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ascential Software\DataStage Client\Attach
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ascential Software\DataStage Client\Director

I haven't found an actual number, but you may be able to work on the actual lists (PrevHostNames key).

You will also notice (in the tree view) that there is a separate folder under DataStage Client for each separate connection.

Perhaps you can ask your support provider, and post any definitive answer you receive here.

I've gone through all the registry settings, looking for either an explicit integer value around 5 or for keys that might allude to this; all to no avail. I've seen all the previous connection information so at least it is there, but no way to modify the drop-down list. I'll submit a call and see what comes of it.
