How the Application Search Path Affects the Database, Icon, and Help Search Paths

Additions to the application search path automatically add corresponding locations to the database, icon, and help search paths. This provides the ability to add an application server to a search path by setting only the application search path input variable.

For example, if you set DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS as follows:

export DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS=servera:

then the search paths are affected as shown in Table 9–3.

Table 9–3 Affected Search Paths


Search Path	Directory Added to Search Path
Applications	`servera:/etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/language`
Database	`servera:/etc/dt/appconfig/types/language`
Icon	`servera:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/language`
Help	`servera:/etc/dt/appconfig/help/language`

Similarly, if you set DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS as follows:

export DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS=/projects1/apps

then the search paths are affected as shown in Table 9–4 .

Table 9–4 Affected Search Paths


Search Path	Directory Added to Search Path
Applications	`/projects1/apps/appmanager/language`
Database	/`projects1/apps/types/language`
Icon	/`projects1/apps/icons/language`
Help	/`projects1/apps/help/language`
