Adding an Application Server to the Application Search Path

In addition to modifying the application search path, you may need to perform additional configuration tasks to enable communication with the application server. See Administering Application Services.

To Set a System-Wide Application Search Path

1. Log in as root.

2. If the file /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths doesn't exist, create it by copying /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths.

3. Open /etc/dt/Xsession.d/0010.paths for editing. Add or edit a line that sets and exports the DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS variable:

   	export DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS=hostname:[,hostname]

   For example, the following line adds the system ApServA to the application search path:

   	export DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS=ApServA:

4. Inform all users on the system that they must log out and then log back in for the change to take effect.

To Set a Personal Application Search Path

1. Open HomeDirectory/.dtprofile for editing.

2. Add or edit a line that sets and exports the DTSPUSERAPPHOSTS variable:

   	export DTSPUSERAPPHOSTS=hostname:[,hostname]

   For example, the following line adds the systems ApServB and ApServC to the application search path:

   	export DTSPUSERAPPHOSTS=ApServB:,ApServC:

3. Log out and then log back in.
