Specifying Fileshare Servers in the RDF

Through the resource definition file, you can specify that any of the following resources reside on a Fileshare server:

Application data files (through the FCT)
Extrapartition transient data queues (through the DCT)
Intrapartition transient data and temporary storage queues (through the SIT)

The FCT, DCT, and SIT contain fields for specifying the name of a Fileshare Server. If you fill one of these fields in, MSS looks for the resource on a Fileshare Server.

The FCT fields are on the FCT Details page of ESMAC.

The fields are:

Field	Description
Fileshare Server	The Fileshare Server through which MSS accesses the file. This name must correspond to the name you give the server when you start it. This field is mandatory.
Override Filename	The filename Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. it defaults to the name of the FCT entry.
File Path	The path Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. It must be specified if the path defined by the project does not exist on the Fileshare server machine.
File Extension	Specifies the file extension Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. For indexed files, this results in a filename and its index component as follows: filename.dat filename.idx

The DCT fields are on the DCT Details page of ESMAC.

The fields are:

Field	Description
Fileshare	The Fileshare Server through which MSS accesses the file. This name must correspond to the name you give the server when you start it. This field is mandatory.
File Name	The filename Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. The name defaults to the name of the DCT entry The path Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. It must be specified if the path defined by the project does not exist on the Fileshare server machine.
Extension	The file extension Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. For indexed files, this results in a filename and its index component as follows: filename.dat filename.idx

Field

Description

Fileshare

The Fileshare Server through which MSS accesses the file. This name must correspond to the name you give the server when you start it. This field is mandatory.

File Name

The filename Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. The name defaults to the name of the DCT entry

Extension

The file extension Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. For indexed files, this results in a filename and its index component as follows:

filename.dat
filename.idx

In the SIT, there are two sets of fields through which you specify Fileshare Servers for temporary storage and intrapartition transient data queues. You do not have to specify the Fileshare Server and path for each individual queue.

The SIT fields are on the SIT Details page of ESMAC.

There are four sets of the following fields, one each for:

Recoverable temporary storage queues
Unrecoverable temporary storage queues
Recoverable transient data queues
Unrecoverable transient data queues

The fields are:

Field	Description
Fileshare Srvr	The Fileshare Server through which MSS accesses the file. This name must correspond to the name you give the server when you start it. This field is mandatory.
Path	The path Fileshare uses to find the file. This field is optional. It must be specified if the path defined by the project does not exist on the Fileshare server machine
