There are two methods used to redirect files during an application download,
depending on the download tool:
•
If you are using DMM, you must manually create and include special zero-
length files called SETDRIVE.x and SETGROUP.n on the download computer,
and add these files to the batch download list to direct files to a specific file
system (drive) or file group.
•
If you are using DDL.EXE to perform direct downloads, you can use a special
command-line option that automatically redirects files to the drive and file
group you specify.
Both of these methods are described in the following sections.
To manually redirect files for DMM application downloads, create one or more files
on the download computer with the special filename, SETDRIVE.x, where, x is
the name of the partition to download files to.
•
Partition designator I: This is the Verix Terminal Manager default for
downloads.
•
Partition designator F:
To create a zero-length SETDRIVE file on the download computer, use the DOS
command, REM, as in the following example:
REM >SETDRIVE.F
To redirect a file from the I: drive of the target group to the F: drive memory of the
same file group, insert the zero-length SETDRIVE.F file into the batch of
application files to download. All files that follow the SETDRIVE.F file in the
download list automatically load into the F: drive of the target group.
If you do not insert a SETDRIVE.F special file in the download list, all files
download by default into the I: drive of the target file group. You can also insert a
zero-length file with the name SETDRIVE.I into the download list at any point to
indicate that all following files will download into I: drive.
For example, the following batch download list loads the executable code file
FOO.OUT into the I: drive of the selected file group (default Group 1). Because the
signature file, FOO.P7S is included, FOO.OUT is also authenticated when the
terminal restarts after the download.
