I have two applications running on a single reporting server that need different APP PATH settings. Is there a way to modify the path in the call to Maintain, or within it?

I will gladly send five geek gold to anyone that can help with this.

John

Hi John,

I always supply the the extra path in my call in the example below thats loader

  

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<head>
<title>Upload Module </title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  function enterMntApp()
  {
  var today = new Date();
  start.newdate.value=today.getTime();
    start.IBIF_cmd.value=
      "MNTCON CLOSEMSH;MNTCON APPPATH loader;MNTCON EX upload;";
    start.submit();
  }
</script>
</head>
<body onload="enterMntApp()">
  <form name="start" action="http://S11007:80/cgi-bin/ibi_cgi/ibiweb.exe" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="IBIS_connect" value="on"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="IBIS_passthru" value="on"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="IBIC_server" value="CLUSTER"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="IBIF_cmd" value=""/>
    <input type="hidden" name="newdate" value=""/>
  </form>
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

App commands:

APP PATH app1 app2...appn - to set the directory search path.

APP PREPENDPATH app1 - to prepend a directory to the existing path.

I'm not sure how you call Maintain, but if it's called from a fex, you can add one of these commands before the call...

If it's called from a URL, you may be able to add '&IBIAPP_app=app1' which acts like an APP PREPEND command.

I hope this helps.

Thank you both. I'm going to have to try this again. I got word that it didn't work when we put it in place earlier. It just makes sense that it would work.

In stead of doing this with the MNTCON command, I always add an extra input field, like:
<input type="hidden" name="IBIAPP_app" value="maintain_app masters fexes"/>

Hope this helps...
