Registry for "CheckConnection"

[Elaine Berenguer]

Hi! I need to enable "CheckConnection" Preference Option to all users that use PLSQL Developer, but I couldn't find the referenced registry so I could set up our GPO to do so. Can you tell me where to find it?
Thanks in advance.

For existing users this preference is stored in:

%APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer 16\Preferences\%USERNAME%\default.ini

For example:

C:\Users\User1\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 16\Preferences\User1\default.ini

Here you will find a [Preferences] section where you can add or change the "Check Connection" and "Check All Sessions" options:

[Preferences]
...
CheckConnection=True
CheckAllSessions=True
...

For new PL/SQL Developer users you can edit the Preferences\Default\default.ini file in the PL/SQL Developer installation directory. For example:

C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer 16\Preferences\Default\default.ini

A user that starts PL/SQL Developer for the first time on this PC will have the default preferences defined in this file.
