RSC/MP Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring the RSC/MP Transport (Piccolo) Combining Piccolo and RSC/MP Configuration

Settings (workstations only)

To get useful log information from multiple Piccolo instances, the Pipeman

processes should not compete for a common log file name. Be sure that the

LogFileName option setting is unique for each Piccolo instance.

Combining Piccolo and RSC/MP Configuration

Settings (workstations only)

In cases where an RSC/MP configuration file will be used on the workstation, you can

combine the Piccolo configuration settings into that file. This action reduces the total

number of configuration files, simplifying management of an RSC/MP installation. In

order to use a combined configuration file, follow these two steps:

1. Combine the Piccolo configuration settings (as described in the remainder of this

section) into the RSC/MP configuration file described in Basic RSC.INI

Configuration on page 12-2. Preserve all sections, as marked by the titles in

square brackets. The sequence of sections within the combined file is not

significant. For example:

[PIPEMAN]

SystemName=myworkstation

DomainName=mycompany.com

NifList=tcp

[NIF-tcp]

ProgramFile=nifsock

[RSC]

TERM_NAME=term01

ERROR_FILE=c:\rsc\rsc.err

SUBSYSTEM_NAME=RSCPIPE

HOST_PIPENAME=mypipe@myhost

2. Set the PIPEINI environment variable to contain the fully qualified file name of the

combined configuration file. For example (on Windows):

SET PIPEINI=C:\MYRSCAPP\RSC.INI

This environment variable mus t be set before Piccolo is started, regardless of how

Piccolo is started (directly or automatically).

Note. On Windows platforms, the PIPEMAN process locks its configuration file for read

access, and holds the lock for as long as Piccolo continues running. A combined

configuration file cannot be edited while Piccolo is running. If your application requires the

ability to alter its RSC.INI on the fly, do not

use

combined configuration file.
