The list of available databases is maintained in so-called `settings.xml` files. These files match the specifications in [[Settings.xml]]. ## Interactive and OS-Applications A default file `settings.xml` is placed in the user's home directory folder 'Invantive' during discovery of databases in interactive or OS-applications, as described in [[Settings.xml]]. ## Web Applications For web applications, the folder `App_Data/Config` must contain the `settings.xml` files. Additional settings files may be placed in this folder too. ## Additional Locations Using the environment variable `INVANTIVE_SETTINGS_FILE_PATH`, you can specify a different file name and path for the default `settings.xml` file. `Settings.xml` is not searched for at other locations.
