How This Book is Organized

Document Conventions

In this guide, file and directory paths are given in the Windows format (with backslashes separating directory or folder names). If you reference other Sun Java System documentation, you may notice that UNIX conventions designate file and directory paths (with front slashes separating directories).

Monospaced font is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, distinguished names, functions, and examples.

Bold monospaced font is used to represent text within a code example that you should type.

Italicized font is used to represent text that you enter using information that is unique to your installation (for example, variables). It is used for server paths and names.

For example, you might see file references of the form:

ISTOREx.LOG

In this situation, x is a numerical value for the day of the week.

Italicized font is also used for variables or parameters within the synopsis of a command line utility. For example, the installation package supports the command line utility:

/USERNAME=xxx

In the above example, the italicized font is an argument for its associated command. The xxx refers to the userID on the server.

Square (or straight) brackets [] are used to enclose optional parameters. For example, you may see the usage for the setup command described as follows:

installer [options] [arguments]

It is possible to run the installer command by itself as follows to start the Messaging Server installation:

setup

However, the presence of [options] and [arguments] indicate that there are additional optional parameters that may be added to the setup command. For example, you could use setup command with the -k option to keep the installation cache:

setup -k
