VHSINSP File
VHSINSP File
To automatically process Inspect prompts, VHS uses a VHS Inspect file (VHSINSP)
that will contain commands to send to Inspect depending on the process name, the
program file name, or the application language. This file is empty at installation time.
When VHS receive an Inspect prompt, it first gets information on the application
currently prompting and tries to find in the VHS Inspect file a section corresponding to
the application. It then sends the commands of the section matching the application to
Inspect and, if Inspect prompts VHS back, VHS tries to create a SAVEABEND file. See
Section 3 for more details.
VHSCSTM File
From the installation of the VHS and VHSCI programs, a custom configuration file
(VHSCSTM) is created. If this file is located in your default subvolume, it will be read
each time you run VHSCI. All VHSCI users should have their own VHSCSTM file in
their own default subvolumes. You can use an ASSIGN command to tell VHSCI to read
the VHSCSTM file from another subvolume if desired.
The VHSCI custom configuration file can be used to configure your session
parameters. You can use the ALIAS command to create shortcut commands for
frequently invoked commands. By using the ALIAS command, you can substitute the
typing of an abbreviated command or pressing of a function key for the original
command or combination of commands. For example, if F1 is defined as the INFO
command, each time you press F1, VHSCI interprets this key as the INFO command
and executes this command.
For information about VHSCI commands, see Section 7, Command Descriptions.
For a sample of a VHSCSTM file, see Appendix A, VHS Files
.
VHSBCONF File
VHSBCONF is the VHS Browser environment configuration file. You need to modify
the default file if you want to do the following:
•
Change the location of the VHS primary log file
•
Set up multiple VHS environments
After you modify the VHS Browser environment configuration file and you want to have
the VHS Browser read the latest copy, go to the VHS Profile screen and press F14 to
refresh the profile. The VHS Browser checks the timestamp of the file and reloads it if
the file was changed.
