PROFS: Typical AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS Files for Gateway PC

ID: Q87205

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.0

SUMMARY

Normally the PROFS gateway PC is configured so that the network drivers, 3270 API, and emulation program are all loaded automatically when the system is started. Often the gateway program is run from another batch file, to allow for easy modification and testing of command-line options.

MORE INFORMATION

Below are examples of what you might typically find in a gateway PC's AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

AUTOEXEC.BAT

The AUTOEXEC.BAT file loads network drivers and loads 3270 emulation.

@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\DOS;c:\bin;C:\COMMSRV\RBIN;
SET TEMP=C:\DOS

@REM == LANMAN 2.1 == DO NOT MODIFY BETWEEN THESE LINES == LANMAN 2.1
PATH C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG;%PATH%
NETBIND
NET START WORKSTATION
@REM == LANMAN 2.1 == DO NOT MODIFY BETWEEN THESE LINES === LANMAN 2.1

net logon vmgate nopassword
net use m: \\server1\share1 password1
net use n: \\server2\share2 password2

SET PATH=C:\COMMSRV\RBIN;%path%

@REM DO NOT DELETE -- Comm Server setup begins mark
lh SHARE
lh c:\COMMSRV\DEV\COMNDIS 5
lh c:\COMMSRV\RBIN\REMNAP \\comsvr
@REM DO NOT DELETE -- Comm Server setup ends mark

c:\commsrv\rbin\dos3270m

At this point, the administrator logs on to the gateway VM ID and makes sure that the PROFS:IDLE or PROFS:READY prompt appears. The 3270 emulation can then be made memory-resident, and the administrator hot- keys back to MS-DOS and calls the batch file that runs the gateway program (HostDisp or VMGATE).
