How do I locate and change the .cfg file (used to be wps.cfg)

I cannot find the .cfg file for 4.4 for this app. Used to be wps.cfg and was used for SAS programming settings.

 

Thanks,

    Hi Gordy,

    The file wps.cfg in WPS 4 is now called altairslc.cfg in SLC 5. (Nevertheless, SLC 5 looks for both altairslc.cfg and wps.cfg files.)

    In the Workbench user guide you can find a whole section listing the several places where SLC looks for the .cfg file.

    There is a always a .cfg file in the top level of the software installation, e.g. /opt/altair/slc/2023 on Linux or C:\Program Files\Altair\SLC\2023 on Windows.

    If you want to add your own local alterations to the standard file then you can call it altairslc_local.cfg (or wps_local.cfg).

    Best Regards,
    Nico
