Method 2: Using Compatibility Mode
Starting RSCPIPE in Compatibility Mode
The RSCPIPE process facilitates communication between the RSC layer and the
Piccolo layer on the workstation. In order to push connectivity information from the
RSC layer to the Piccolo layer, the RSCPIPE process must be started with special
“connectivity mode” options.
Use the SUBSYSTEM_CMDLINE option to pass options to RSCPIPE during auto
startup. See the Remote Server Call (RSC/MP) Programming Manual for a description
of SUBSYSTEM_CMDLINE.
Table A-1. RSCPIPE Command Line Connection Compatibility Options
Option Name Syntax Description
net_lower -net_lower For applications using the NetBIOS
transport, net_lower specifies that the
NETNAME and NETNAME_ALT options
will be lowercase in order for the same
NETNAME to be used on different
connections. See NetBIOS Transport on
page A-11 for more information.
nifname -nifname name Specifies that RSCPIPE connect to a
host using the Piccolo NIF that is
designated. See Use of Multiple NIFs on
page A-13 for more information.
pipename -pipename name Specifies the default PIPE object name
in the TDP to which RSCPIPE will
connect. See Configuring Host
Connectivity on page A-9 for more
information.
use_tcpport -use_tcpport For applications using the TCP/IP
transport, use_tcpport specifies that the
port designated by the
HOST_INET_ADDRESS and
HOST_INET_ADDRESS_ALT options
be used. See TCP/IP Transport with
Different Service Ports on page A-10.
Note. Applications will not be passed protocol-specific extended error codes, even when
running with Compatibility Mode. The Piccolo transport is designed to insulate the application
from protocol-specific information.
