Appendix 1: Configuration File Settings (AppOptions.xml)
Each installation of the program comes with a configuration file named AppOptions.xml, which
controls how the program works.
The location of the file is the installation folder of the program. The default location for this file
is C:\SSi\Bin\SSi Furnace Utilization Reporting.
This section will provide explanations for each setting in the file.
Below are the contents of the default AppOptions.xml file:

•
<GasUsageUoM>: Unit of Measurement for gas usage such as SCFM (Standard Cubic
Feet per Minute) or M3M, etc.
•
<Currency>: Currency type for use with cost reports. Example values are USD, EUR, etc.
•
<GasRate>: Gas price per one gas unit specified in the <GasUsageUoM> setting and in
the currency specified in the <Currency> setting.
•
<ElectricityRate>: Electric price per KWH in the currency specified in the <Currency>
setting.
•
<UseSQLEXPRUtilDB>: 1.) If set to true: To use a centralized Furnace Utilization SQL
database server specified in the <SQLEXPRUtilDBConnString> setting. 2.) If set to false:
To use the local SQL CE database on the local machine for all the configurations for the
program.
•
<SQLEXPRUtilDBConnString>: Connection settings for the centralized Furnace
Utilization SQL database. This setting will only be used if <UseSQLEXPRUtilDB> is set to
true.
•
<LoadDBConnString>: Connection settings for the Load Entry SQL database.
•
<LoadsTableName>: Name of the Loads table within the Load Entry SQL database.
•
<LoadIDColName>: Name of the LoadID column of the Loads table within the Load Entry
SQL database.
•
<LoadFurnaceColName>: Name of the Furnace column of the Loads table within the
Load Entry SQL database.
