9.3.3 The srvconfig.tcl Utility - Working in a Graphical Environment
The srvconfig.tcl utility enables you to configure your remote DSN in a graphical environment.
Notes: srvconfig.tcl requires Tcl/Tk 8.0, which is not supplied by Acucorp. See www.scriptics.com
for information on obtaining Tcl/Tk. Tcl/Tk is open source, so the cost is
only the time to download.
Remember that UNIX is case sensitive; enter paths and filenames as they appear
in the file system.
Because srvconfig.tcl is so similar to the AcuODBC Configuration property sheet, this section
provides the command to start the utility and highlights any differences between the
utility and the property sheet that you should know. Refer to Chapter 3, "Creating Data Sources" and section 9.3.1 "Configuring Remote Data Sources in Windows" as you create remote DSNs using srvconfig.tcl.
You can configure srvconfig.tcl to display a Help button for context-sensitive help in HTML. Open the srvconfig.tcl script (most likely found in the "acugt/bin" directory). Near the top of the
script, you must set two configuration variables: BROWSERNAME and HTMLDIR.
- Set BROWSERNAME to the name of the browser you are using. If the browser is
in your PATH, you need simply to provide the name of the browser. If the
browser is not in your PATH, you must provide the full path to the browser.
- Set HTMLDIR to the name of the directory that contains the HTML help files.
This can be either "Docs52/Acuodbc/help" (which is where the files reside on the
CD) or another directory where the files are installed.
