Uninstalling Enterprise Fabric Suite
The encryption key encrypts the sensitive data in the default fabric view file so that no one can open the file without the encryption key. For information about changing this encryption key, see “Changing the Encryption Key for the Default
Fabric View File” on page 1-8. If an encryption key has been defined and the View
File Auto Save and Load preference is enabled, the current fabric view is saved to your default fabric view file when you close future Enterprise Fabric Suite sessions. In addition to the default fabric view file, you can save and open other fabric view files. See “Saving and Opening Fabric View Files” on page 1-8 for more information.
To prevent Enterprise Fabric Suite from prompting you to save the default fabric view file between Enterprise Fabric Suite sessions, enable (check) the View File Auto Save and Load preference. For more information about preferences, see
“Setting Enterprise Fabric Suite Preferences” on page 1-9.
In your next Enterprise Fabric Suite session, the Load Default Fabric View File dialog box (Figure 1-6) prompts you to load the default fabric view file and to specify its encryption key, if one exists. In the Default Fabric File Encryption Key box, enter the encryption key, and click Load View File. If you do not want to load the default fabric view file, click Continue Without Loading to st art the Enterprise Fabric Suite with no fabric displayed.
