How do I define paths for the archive file and related index files?

Use the CARPath INI option to define the path for the ARCHIVE file and use the CARFile option to specify the name of the archive file. Do not enter a complete path in the CARFile option.

There are no options for specifying the paths for the APPIDX, CATALOG, and TEMPIDX files. For these files, you must specify the complete path when you specify the file name. Otherwise, the system creates these files in the directory where it runs the GenArc program.

For these examples, assume the ARC directory under current directory is the destination for the archive and related index files.

 

Correct

Incorrect

CARFile = ARCHIVE

CARPath = .\ARC\

CARFile = .\ARC\ARCHIVE

AppIdx = .\ARC\AppIdx

Catalog = .\ARC\Catalog

TempIDX = .\ARC\Temp

 

AppIdx = AppIdx

ArcPath = .\ARC\

Catalog = Catalog

TempIDX = Temp

Note   Do not define ArcRet control group in both the FSIUSER.INI and FSISYS.INI files. This causes duplicate entries to be displayed during retrieval.
