HideVAM
Controls whether the VTScada Application Manager (VAM) is displayed when the VTScada program runs. At least one application must be set to auto-run in order for this variable to take effect.
HideWAM has been replaced by HideVAM. HideWAM will still work in Setup.INI, but is checked only on startup, at which time its value is used to set the newer HideVAM. Run-time code that needs to hide the VAM must use HideVAM instead of HideWAM.
If set to 0 (false), the VAM is not hidden.
If set to 1 (true), the VAM is hidden when the application restarts automatically. See: AutoStart
Section: System
Default: HideVAM = 0
Part of Setup.INI, in your installation folder.
This property is not part of the Application Configuration dialog.
HideVAM has no effect unless the application is configured to start automatically. DO NOT SET HideVAM unless at least one account has the View Application Manager privilege. (This property will affect unsecured applications, in which case nobody will be able to see the VAM because nobody has the required privilege.)
When HideVAM is set, the VAM will stop when all applications stop.
In applications where HideVAM is enabled, it is recommended that AutoStartDlgTimeout be reconfigured to zero seconds. (AutoStartDlgTimeout = 0).
See the VTScada Application Manager section of the Security Guidelines Manual for more information.
