Installing and Configuring RSC/MP

After you install RSC/MP, ensure the path to its /bin directory is included in the %PATH% environment variable. This is required as the Comm Bridge transport DLL depends on RSC/MP DLL's installed within the bin directory. For more information about installing and configuring RSC/MP, see the HP NonStop Remote Server Call (RSC/MP) Installation and Configuration Guide.

The following examples show how to customize the RSC/MP files for use within the CA Gen environment.

RSC.ini customization

A sample content from a typical <RSC Install Dir>\bin\RSC.ini file is shown next. These configuration items should be merged within the existing RSC.ini file as this list is not all inclusive.

The following example defines a new section called GEN_RSC, which is also the name used for the Comm Bridge Initialization Section Name configuration as shown next.

Note: Use [ ] when defining sections within the RSC.ini file.

[GEN_RSC]
;
; Set the fully qualified RSC/MP error file name.
; Assume RSC/MP is installed in C:\rsc
error_file          = c:\rsc\bin\RSC.ERR

; The following options are required for Piccolo connections.
; set them to appropriate values.

; this is the default
subsystem_name      = RSCPIPE                ;( default = RSCPIPE )

; the host_pipename is typically the host name of the target NonStop
; machine. Replace SOME_NONSTOP_HOST with the target server name
host_pipename       = RSC@SOME_NONSTOP_HOST
; The value of the writeread_pathmon entry should be that of the
; name of the Pathmon process for the CA Gen application that
; has or will be installed on the NonStop server.  This name must
; match the name entered in the Setup Tool when the application was
; or will be installed.
writeread_pathmon   = $TEST

Note: RSC/MP test programs use the default [RSC] section within RSC.ini for testing client/server communications. This named entry must remain within the RSC.ini file if you want to successfully test the base RSC/MP installation. Some of values used in the RSC.ini file configuration rely on RSC/MP server side configuration settings. For more information about your RSC/MP installation at your site, contact your system administrator.

Pipe.ini customization

A sample content from a typical <RSC Install Dir>\bin\PIPE.INI file is shown next. These configuration items should be merged within the existing pipe.ini file as this list is not all inclusive. This data is used internally by RSC/MP. Since %RSC_INSTALL_DIR% is NOT an environment variable that is created when RSC is installed, it should not be referred as one. Any field that has % should or a $ in front of it is assumed to be an existing environment variable.

[PIPEMAN]

; SystemName is the name of the client workstation where
; the RSC/MP client and Gen Client Manager is installed.
SystemName=Client Workstation

; DomainName is the domain where the SystemName machine resides
DomainName=CA.COM
