word processor and rename the directory, you need to change the mapping in every login script
where that search mapping appears.
By using a Directory Map object, you could avoid making changes to the login scripts.
®
First, using ConsoleOne , you could create a Directory Map object called current_wpr that
points to the word processor directory (sys:\public\wpr\80).
Then, with a map command in your login scripts, map a search drive to the Directory Map object,
rather than to the specific directory:
map ins s2:=.current.wpr.sales.novell_us
For a general description of the Map command, see "MAP" in the OES 2: Utilities Reference.
When users log in, their network-search drive is mapped to the current_wpr Directory Map
object, which points to the directory containing WPR8.0.
Later, if you upgrade to WPR9.0 and change the directory's name to sys:\public\wpr\90,
you would change only the Directory Map object to indicate the new path.
You would not change the map command in the login scripts because the map command still
indicates the correct Directory Map object.
