The same DTE Logicals are used for everyone. For example, all DTE customer’s data is found in
the FIL logical directory and all utility programs are
in UTS. The exact path and names of the directories are
assigned to the logicals within a login or program initialization
file.
The standard installation example below (based on a windows
environment), shows you that
▪ All executable files (the actual running programs)
are in:
EXE= c:\progra~1\dtev70\exe\
▪ The specific data files are all
in:
FIL= c:\progra~1\dtev70\fil\
▪ Queued reports are always written to
the:
RPT= c:\progra~1\dtev70\rpt\
▪ The temporary area where DTE creates work files or
where posting log files, etc are kept is in:
WRK= c:\progra~1\dtev70\wrk\
There are other Logicals used by Down To Earth
for utilities, source programs, messages, and the like. And, you can define your own system
logicals and use those within DTE, too. (Contact your system manager for a list of your
uniquely defined logical assignments.)
For example, HOME is often used for the login directory of a unix or vms system (HOME=usr/steve).
Or EXPORT as the directory for all DTE exported reports or data files
(EXPORT=usr/dtev70/export).
Where do you create and find
these logicals?
As mentioned above, they are usually defined in
a login or program initialization file. The type of file depends on your type
of system.
▪ Windows environment carries the logicals in your synergy.ini file (initialization file)
▪ A UNIX system holds the logicals in a .cshrc or .profile file
▪ The VMS OS establishes them in each login.com, a system wide syslogin.com, or other command
file.
If you’re
unsure of the logicals you can use, contact your system manager. If you don’t have a system
manager, contact DTE Technical support for
assistance.
