108 VX 675 REFERENCE GUIDE
Restrictions on File
Redirection
The VX 675 file system restricts how you can redirect files to other file groups.
Here are the important points to remember:
• The main application must always be downloaded into GID1.
• Because of the way file groups are managed in the VX 675 file system, only
two schemes are available for redirecting files during a batch application
download:
• If using Verix Terminal Manager menu options, select Group 1 (default) as
the target group for the download; files can be redirected to any other file
group, including GID15.
• If using Verix Terminal Manager menu options, select a file group other
than Group 1 (GIDs 2–14) as the target group for the download; files can
be redirected only into the selected file group or into GID15.
In the following example, GID1 is selected as the target group for the download.
The download list loads FOO.OUT into Group 1 I: drive, GOO.OUT into GID2, and
COMN.LIB shared library into GID15. When the terminal restarts after the
download, the file authentication module is invoked for all three files, based on the
certificate data that authorizes them to be stored in their respective file groups.
If FOO.OUT is authenticated, the GID1 application, FOO.OUT, executes as
specified by the *GO variable when the terminal restarts following successful file
authentication. The function library stored in GID15 can be shared by both
applications, as both Group 1 and Group 2 applications can access Group 15.

NOTE
You can only use zero-length SETGROUP.x files for batch application downloads,
by direct or only using the Download Manager or ZonTalk 2000 download tools
(not DDL.EXE). You cannot use this special file convention for operating system
downloads or back-to-back application downloads.
