Changing the Precedence of the System-Wide Local Location

By default, the local system-wide location (/etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/language) has precedence over remote locations. Thus, local application groups have precedence over remote groups with the same name. For example, if both the local and remote systems have Printer application groups (/etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/language/Printers), the local group is used.

The application search path input variables provide syntax for specifying the precedence of the local system-wide application groups:

localhost:

For example, suppose your system must access application servers SysA, SysB, and SysC, and you want the system-wide application groups on SysB to have precedence over any local groups with the same name.

The following value for DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS creates this behavior:

DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS=SysB:,localhost:,SysA:,SysC:
