I have a situation as follows : I have a application image A which looks for and calls shareable image B on sys$share: I translate both image A and B to A' and B'. when I invoke translated image of A, it looks for the translated image of B under sys$common:[library] but I want A' to look for B' at the location where the shareable image was placed originally at sys$share: How can I do that ? I want to preserve location. -steve

See section 3.2 -- you'll probably need to define a logical to point to your image in SYS$SHARE:B'.EXE. Brian | |||||
| 962.2 | correct ? | HANDVC::STEVELIU | Wed Apr 09 1997 04:03 | 13 | |
Refer back to my example where A.exe point to shareable SYS$SHARE:B.EXE. After translation of A.EXE to A_TV.EXE and B.EVE to B_TV.EXE, I place B_TV.EXE back to SYS$SHARE and define the logical as follows : $define B_TV SYS$SHARE:B_TV.EXE Now I should be able to run A_TV.EXE with proper reference to B_TV.EXE, right ? steve | |||||
| 962.3 | It's in the reference guide | TALLIS::wlfgng.amt.tay1.dec.com::nelson | It's not the years it's the mileage! | Wed Apr 09 1997 12:17 | 26 |
Yes, that's right. I just verified that by using the examples shipped with VEST and referenced in section 6.2. If you follow the guidelines set there, you should be all set. After following the example exactly, I copied the shareable image vax_mymath_tv.exe to sys$share, and defined the logical as: $ define vax_mymath_tv sys$share:vax_mymath_tv.exe and ran the main image. Worked like a champ. This is something you could have easily done yourself. When you ask very simple, basic questions like this (this is more a VMS question than a VEST question), you tie up my valuable time that could be more profitably spent elsewhere. Please, in the future, look in the reference guide first (and also do title searches on this conference) before asking questions. Brian | |||||
