In both standard client/server and Internet configurations, enabling your applications to use AcuServer requires that your applications refer to remote files with remote name notation.
The easiest way to enable your applications to use AcuServer is to update the FILE-PREFIX and CODE-PREFIX runtime configuration variables to include paths with remote name notation. This holds true whether the remote path is a standard remote server address or an Internet address.
To add a remote search path, simply append or insert the name and path of the remote directory to the variable's definition.
For example, in a standard client/server or intranet configuration, you might define the configuration file variables as follows:
FILE-PREFIX . /usr/data @condor:/usr/data
CODE-PREFIX . /usr/objects @condor:/usr/objects
This tells the application to look for data and object files in the current directory (".") first, in the local "/usr/data" or "/usr/objects" directory second, and finally on file server "condor" in the directory "/usr/data" or "/usr/objects."
Internet configurations are not much different. Assuming that the name of the Internet server is "condor," you would define the configuration variables as follows:
FILE-PREFIX . /usr/data @condor.domain.com:/usr/data
CODE-PREFIX . /usr/objects @condor.domain.com:/usr/objects
Of course, if you define "condor" as an alias for condor.domain.com, the syntax would be exactly the same.
