Changing the DIRGROUP and ENCYGROUP Parameters

Use a text editor to view the current setting for the DIRGROUP in the Message Dispatcher initialization file. Although the software allows you to use another name, you should always use the default setting (DIR) for DIRGROUP because there is usually no need to have more than one directory for a collection of encyclopedias.

Note: If you do not use a setting other than the default for DIRGROUP, the client process can override the DIRGROUP name by resetting the parameter through the IEF_DIRGROUP environment variable.

You can also use a text editor to review the settings for ENCYGROUP parameters in the <iefmd.ini> file. You can have more than one encyclopedia referenced in the <iefmd.ini> same file. If your file contains multiple encyclopedias, the names you define for ENCYGROUP must be unique.
