So you do what you want to do, but not hard code it and hence require manual updating of all those VOCs. When you want to move for some reason...like lack of disk space or a new disk letter...
UD also supports multiple version to operate on the same host/server...done mainly through the use of shell variables to point to proper version. Much like you can do with Oracle too. Now that would be handy if UV could do that too...especially when upgrading/test new releases, etc. Back to your query... In the past we use to have multiple UV accounts from the old legacy systems. But then we bit the bullet and simply created a single account. Not all sites can do this if you have duplicate filenames. We had few files like this and just renamed them and end up prefixing the duplicates with the (original) account name to ease the transition. Then we just change any applications/dictionaries that use to refer to. We didn't have any issues with duplicate &HOLD&, &SAVEDLISTS& nor &COMO& filenames. But you do have to aware of potential gotchas like this when applications start overwriting each other's' output. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2013 7:07 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO What's the reason for using a variable, @MY_COMO, instead of the actual path ? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Haskett <wphask...@advantos.net> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Wed, Jan 23, 2013 7:22 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO In UniData (on Windows) this is pretty simple. First you create an environment variable for the como file (e.g. MY_COMO) that points to the directory under which you've created a _PH_ directory and a D__PH_ dictionary file. Then you create a VOC item as follows: _PH_ 001 DIR 002 @MY_COMO\_PH_ 003 @MY_COMP\D__PH_ ...to include in every account's VOC file. This will now act as a centralized "como" repository. I do this with the _HOLD_ directory, as everyone on our machines share the same spooler file, and each spooler file name is a unique ".txt" file. I'm sure it would be even easier on a "nix" machine. :-) Bill ************** IMPORTANT MESSAGE ***************************** This e-mail message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential.
