Problems implementing master capture.ini

scottm7

I'm running Allegro Design Entry CIS v16.6-S039 and having problems implementing a master capture.ini file.  I downloaded the CIS admin tool and used SetMasterIniPath.exe.  I've verified that this added a registry key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cadence Design Systems\MasterSettingsFile.  Note that this is a different location than in the documentation which specifies HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cadence Design Systems\MasterSettingsFile which I've also manually entered into the registry.

My master capture.ini file currently only has a single entry while I experiment as seen below:

[Part Management]
Configuration File=J:\Configuration_Files\CIP-E V5.0 CIS DB.DBC

I expect this entry to replace the existing entry in my capture.ini file located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SPB_Data\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\16.6.0 but it does not.  Can anyone help me debug what is wrong?

    Thank you very much.  This was extremely helpful.

    The fact you don't seem to have opened any queries relating to database issues suggests the replication work went well.
