Configuring Using the RSC/MP Configuration Wizard
Configuring Using the RSC/MP Configuration
Wizard
For Windows workstations, you can configure the NIFs by using the RSC/MP
Configuration Wizard program. Click on the Configure RSC/MP icon and the screens
will guide you through the configuration steps.
The first time you configure RSC/MP, you should use the Configuration Wizard to set
up a minimal configuration file for the RSC/MP transport (Piccolo) and related options.
During the configuration, you can choose to create the RSC.INI and/or PIPE.INI files.
These files can later be edited using any text editor.
The RSC.INI file contains the RSC/MP application options (such as ACS and
Pathway). The PIPE.INI file contains the transport options (such as Pipeman, TCP/IP,
and asynchronous).
To access the online help press the question mark (Help) and position the cursor on a
field on the screen. The section of this manual that describes that field displays to
assist you.
Start the RSC/MP Configuration Wizard program using one of the following methods:
•
Use the RUN command from either the Windows Program Manager or the File
Manager:
c:\rsc\rscconfig.exe
•
Using the File Manager, find the C:\RSC\RSCCONFIG.EXE file in the directory
tree and double-click on the file name.
•
Double-click on the Configure RSC icon in the RSC folder to start the program.
Creating the Configuration File (for all installations)
Each Piccolo configuration file contains a number of sections and each section
contains a number of option settings. Section names are shown in square braces (for
example, [SECTION]); option settings are shown as name-value pairs using the equals
sign (OptionName=OptionSetting). Entries in the configuration file are not case
sensitive; capitalization is used in the sample configuration files only to improve
readability.
The section named [PIPEMAN] is required; the section named [RESOLVER] is
optional. In addition to these two sections, there must be one section for each network
interface (NIF) to be used; the [NIF-nifname] sections are described in Creating the
[NIF-nifname] Sections (for all installations) on page 5-18.
A minimal configuration file defines the system name and usually the domain name
(which together must uniquely identify the host or workstation on which Piccolo is
Note. When installing RSC/MP on a Windows workstation, the RSC/MP Configuration Wizard
is automatically installed on your workstation.
