Globals.Addins
Globals.Addins returns the Addins path string from the deacom.ini file. The Globals.Addins property is set at time of login, and can only be updated when the web server console or web server service is restarted.
Deacom does not have a relative path in scripting, everything is absolute. We have found through trial and error that if you put all you external scripts in a js or scripting folder inside the Addins folder the best way to mimic a relative path and allow you to back up and restore production and test without breaking path links in the scripting.
Note: Globals are not available to Grid and External scripts until 17.02. Please check the scripting tree in the script window in Deacom to make sure Globals are available.
