Where sections of FipHdr fields are required or changes to the output style,
use keywords : fixed, partial, combie, optional, repeat, newdate and/or style.
(see The SysAdmin manual for more information).
They are normally specified :
fixed:QZ 1234543
partial:QT ST,3,2,U,<,>
combie:QY ep|na,(0000000)a
option:QE ep,11,7,s
repeat:QK XK,-,3
or repeat:QP PK,,4,#X
style:QS XN,%.03d
newdate:
replace:
Input Parameters are :
-i : queue to scan for input default: spool/2royses
This can be specified as a queue under /fip/spool or
if it starts with a '/', the complete pathname. Note that in
the second case, the queue MUST reside in the same partition
as spool.
OR -1 : name of file to send where we are sending a single file. def:none
This can be specified as a queue under /fip/spool or
if it starts with a '/', the complete pathname. Note that in
the second case, the queue MUST reside in the same partition
as spool. The input file is NOT deleted in this case.
Optional parameters :
-2 : Run in DUAL SES server mode default: single server
-9 : do not use Speedy on a Speedy Fip
-C : blank all pages for this stream and stop default: no
eg iproyses -C testa
-d : done queue default: file is deleted
-l : do not log each file as it is printed default: log
-M : maximum bytes for an NPS story default: 32000
-n : always use NPS version default: check code table
-N : never use NPS version default: check code table
-p : always use LongPage default: check code table
-P : never use LongPage default: check code table
-Q : log everything default: do NOT log duplicates and deletes
-w : time between scans of directory default: 5 secs
-z : parameter file default: none
-v : print version no and exit
-----------------------------------------------
Installation issues
SESapi32.dll should be in \fip\bin and \fip\bin MUST be in the PATH of the
System (ie Control Panel/System/environment/path)
SES Setup/Initialisation notes (from the SES zip file)
------------------------------
NB: ses.ini for V5.00 is the same as for earlier versions: if you
have already been running an earlier version, there is no need to
follow this section.
Edit c:\ses32\ses.ini, setting the line
HOST=mh7186
to your own machine name, e.g.
HOST=mynode
(the same name as used in the TCP/IP configuration section).
Copy c:\ses32\ses.ini to c:\windows
For Fip we really want to check :
- no SESROUTE running on the workstation machine.
- a SES.INI file in the Windows directory of the workstation machine.
- the HOST= line in SES.INI set to point to the nodename of the SESROUTE
server machine.
- sesapi32.dll in the Windows directory of the workstation.
