3 Installing Eloquence on the Windows 32 bit platform

Configuration of the GUI Server

The Windows GUI server (DLGSRV) communicates with the Application Server via the network, so it can operate in a network environment and a standalone systtem as well. The Application Server establishes a connection to the GUI server using the RUNSRV utility. The information how to contact the RUNSRV is provided in the eloq.ini configuration file on the Application Server.

The configuraion of the GUI server and the RUNSRV utility is provided in the eloqcl.ini configuration file on the client. The service name or port number used by the RUNSRV utility must be the same on the client and the server.

Customization of the eloq.ini and eloqcl.ini file

Eloquence configuration files are located in the etc subdirectory of your Eloquence installation directory. For exmaple:

C:\Program Files\Eloquence\etc
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 RUNSRV utility and the GUI server (DLGSRV).

Template files named eloq.ini.sam and eloqcl.ini.sam are located in the same directory. You can use the Eloquence Configuration Utility or a text editor (such as Notepad) to modify the files.

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 start with a semicolon (;) in the first column.
