add
WHENCE xxxxxxxx FOCEXEC
-RUN

to the focexec where xxxxxxxx is the name of the focexec.

This will display the location of the focexec.
In the case of unix this wil either be the physical location or a link

Hi Rocky,

There is not really a "usual" location for the code since a system administrator can configure it according to her own admin policies.

One way I use to locate code is by asking Unix to do it for me Smiler This works even if Idon't know exactly what the focexec full name is.

Let's assume you need to find a procedure whose name contains the word "test" and all you know is that it might be installed somewhere under "/opt":

find /opt -name '*test*.fex' -print


That command will give you the location of the file(s) provided it exists under /opt. You may also try to start your search from the root directory (/) but it all depends on which permissions your Unix userid has.

Do you have perhaps a directory /opt/ibi/apps? I would start my search there.

Regards,
Neftali.

You could also try:
-TYPE &APPROOT
or
? PATH

Wow! That looks a lot easier and like a more useful method! I'll check that option out.

Thanks,
Neftali.

Both methods mentioned will give an indication of general locations but not which physical focexec is running
if multiple versions exist.

In the case of checking the path it will always be the first one found.

likewise the WHENCE command if run from an adhoc request will return the first one that it finds on the APP PATH.

However as with ? PATH or -TYPE &APPROOT if the Paths or APP structure are changed by the application
they may still return the wrong info.
