Method 2: Using Compatibility Mode
Method 2: Using Compatibility Mode
Compatibility mode provides the ability for connectivity information specified by the
RSC/MP API call RscSetOption, as was done in pre-Piccolo applications, to be pushed
through to the Piccolo layer. Applications that call RscSetOption to set any of the
"Compatibility Mode" options in the table Discontinued RSC.INI Options on page A-16
will not require re-coding. Setting up compatibility mode involves the following
changes:
•
enable option pass-thru by excluding HOST_PIPENAME from the RSC.INI file
•
configure a PIPE object in the TDP using the default name or specify the PIPE
object name when RSCPIPE is started
•
configure NIFS in the Piccolo configuration file on the host and workstation
•
start RSCPIPE with special command line arguments
Enabling Option Pass-Thru
Option pass-thru provides the ability for connectivity information specified by the
RscSetOption function to be pushed through to Piccolo.
In order to enable the automatic pass-thru of the "Compatibility Mode" options listed in
Discontinued RSC.INI Options on page A-16, do NOT include the HOST_PIPENAME
option in the RSC.INI file.
Configuring Host Connectivity
On the host, configure a PIPE object in the TDP (see Configuring TDP Objects on
page 12-4 for information). The name of the PIPE object configured on the host MUST
match the name the client is using. By default, Compatibility Mode connections are
made to the PIPE object named RSC. If the PIPE object on the host is configured with
a name other than RSC, the PIPE object name must be specified with the -pipename
flag when the RSCPIPE client process is started:
rscpipe -pipename name (
command line
)
SUBSYSTEM_CMDLINE="-pipename name" (
in RSC.INI for auto start of RSCPIPE
)
