PATHWAY COMPATIBILITY AND SCRIPTSERVER

Contents | Index | About the Icons

This memo applies to older versions of Wollongong's Pathway for VMS. ScriptServer has been tested with AttachMate's Pathway for OpenVMS 3.0 and no problems were found.

There are several steps necessary to achieve compatibility between the ScriptServer printing system and Attachmate's (formerly Wollongong) Pathway products. You must run the Pathway software in UCX compatibility mode as follows:

1)

Load the UCX drivers/devices

If your system is up and running and you want this compatibility without having to take your system down, type the following:

@TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.MISC]UWSTART RESTART UCX

However, in order to experience compatibility even after a reboot, you will need to edit the file:

TWG$TCP[NETDIST.MISC]STARTINET.COM

This should run from your system startup file to start the Pathway software.

Once in the file, you need to search for the following:

! Start the UCX Compatibility Software
! 
! @TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.MISC]UWSTART

Uncomment the third line by removing the exclamation point (!).

2)

Make sure the device is there by typing:

$ SHOW DEVICE UW0:
3)

Define the following logical:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM UCX$DEVICE BG:
4)

Check the logical to make sure that it is properly defined:

$ SHOW LOG UCX$DEVICE

You should see the following:

UCX$DEVICE = "BG:"

Additionally, BG should be equated to UW:

BG = UW
5)

You will need to turn off your Backchannel by doing the following:

$DEFINE/SYSTEM SSV$device_BACKCHANNEL FALSE
