Global constants

You should declare global constants to define settings that apply to a specific KCM Core setup. Some examples: directory paths, printer names, names of remote servers, or user names and passwords for remote servers.

  1. Start KCM Core Administrator.

  2. In the tree view, click the Services node.

  3. In the right pane, select the Constants tab and define global constants and their values.

    Every script run on this server can access these settings.

  4. Click Save & Apply.

The following tables describes five global constants that provide defaults for internal commands.

Constant Function / Value Used by Command
WFWPrinter Default printer driver when printing Microsoft Word files PrintDocument
PDFPrinter Default printer driver when printing PDF files PrintDocument
WFWFormat Default save format when converting Microsoft Word files ConvertDocument

Global constants are always assumed to be of type Text.
