### instmgr_file

Controls where the instance manager database is written, to the target data directory or to a separate file.

##### Syntax

#pragma instmgr_file "name"

##### Targets

All platforms.

##### Remarks

When the Use Instance Manager option is on, the IDE writes the instance manager database to the project’s data directory. If the #pragma instmgr_file is used, the database is written to a separate file.

Also, a separate instance file is always written when the command-line tools are used.

NOTE Should you need to report a bug, use this option to create a separate instance manager database, which can then be sent to technical support with your bug report.

This pragma corresponds to the Use Instance Manager setting . The default setting is off.
