Setting Up Variables for the Vertex Database Location

This section discusses how to:

  • Set up Vertex on a Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 platform.

  • Set up Vertex on a UNIX platform.

Vertex provides a registry file to populate entries in the Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 registry. A typical file contains the following entries:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Vertex registry file. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

 Vertex registry file

For a Vertex ISAM database, provide values for xxxDBDataSrc. The value would be the directory containing the Vertex database. For relational database connection, the typical setup is to provide values for xxxDBServer, xxxDBPassword, and xxxDBUser, as follows:

RateDBDataSrc=
RateDBServer=qsu
RateDBPassword=solaris25
RateDBUser=solaris25
GeoDBDataSrc=
GeoDBServer=qsu
GeoDBUser=solaris25
GeoDBPassword=solaris25
RegDBDataSrc=
RegDBServer=qsu
RegDBUser=solaris25
RegDBPassword=solaris25
TDMDataSrc=
TDMDBServer=qsu
TDMDBUser=solaris25
TDMDBPassword=solaris25

There should be no blanks between the equal sign and the parameter entered.

See the Vertex Softlink documentation for additional information.

Vertex provides a configuration file called PSVTXCFG that contains similar entries to the ones in a Microsoft Windows registry. This file must be accessible to the Vertex-supplied shared libraries. Define an environment variable called PSVTXCFG in psconfig.sh, and assign it the location of the configuration file. Define the variable for both the application server and PeopleSoft Process Scheduler so that the variable can be used by the Vertex software.
