2 Installing Eloquence on the HP-UX platform

Configuring the GUI Server

There are two kind of dialog drivers: The motif driver which is running locally on HP-UX and the Windows DLGSRV which operates over the network.

When accessing the DLGSRV over the network, Eloquence running on the application server establishes a connection using the RUNSRV utility. The information how to contact the RUNSRV is provided in the eloq.ini configuration file on the application server. The service name or port number used by the RUNSRV utility must be the same on the client and the server.

The configuraion of the motif dialog driver is provided in the eloqcl.ini configuration file.

Customization of the eloq.ini and eloqcl.ini file

The location of the Eloquence configuration files depends on your operating system:

HP-UX 10.x
/opt/eloquence6/etc
HP-UX 9.x
/etc/opt/eloquence6
Eloquence uses the eloq.ini configurationfile to configure how to contact the RUNSRV on the client system. The configuration file eloqcl.ini is used to configure the the motif dialog driver.

A defaut eloq.ini and eloqcl.ini file are located in the directory /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/config.

The 'ini' File format

The file eloq.ini and eloqcl.ini contain several sections, each containing a group of related configuration items. The sections and configuration items have the following format: 

  [Section]
  Item=Value
Section is the name of a section. The enclosing brackets ([ ]) are required and they must start at the first column.

Item=Value defines a value of a configuration item. Item is the name of a configuration item. It consists of any sequence of characters (case insensitive) and digits followed by a equal sign (=). Depending on item type, the value may either be an integer or a string (optionally enclosed in double quotes).

Comment lines must either start with a semicolon (;) or a hash character (#) in the first column.
