5 Installing Eloquence on the Linux platform
Configuring the GUI Server
Eloquence uses the the DLGSRV, running on a remote host to provide a network transparent dialog user interface. Eloquence (running on the application server) establishes a connection to the remote dialog server using the RUNSRV utility running on the remote host. 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.
Customization of the eloq.ini
Eloquence uses the eloq.ini configuration file to configure how to contact the RUNSRV on the client system. The eloq.ini configuration file is located in the Eloquence configuration directiry. A default eloq.ini file is located in the directory /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/config.
The 'ini' File format
The file eloq.ini contains 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.
