Creating a FASTKCON Configuration File
(Beginning with the G06 and D48 RVUs)
Beginning with the G06 and D48 RVUs, FASTPTCP also supports the use of a new
key-sequenced configuration file named FASTKCON and the utility which is used to
generate the file, FASTKCUT. FASTKCON and FASTKCUT provide the following new
features:
•
FASTKCON is a key-sequenced file. A key-sequenced file avoids long sequential
searches, provides for faster printer startup, and is especially useful for large
configurations.
•
FASTKCON can be updated online with no impact on running FASTPTCP
processes.
•
One or more FASTCNFG files are still used as the master database but are easily
converted to the FASTKCON format by using the FASTKCUT utility.
•
FASTKCON does not change the FASTCNFG device-parameter syntax or
interpretation.
•
The original FASTCNFG files are still supported if FASTKCON is not present.
•
POLLTYPE requires FASTKCON
