Re: Multipe Environment Configured as ServiceObjects

Question

In the registry, hkey_local_machine\SYSTEM\currentcontrolset\services\Forte
Environment Manager 3.0.F.2\Parameters, there are three values. One of
these is "Command line". You can add specific values there. For example,
you might want to specify the name server address there with the "-fns"
flag. You will also need to specify a different node name for each
environment manager, using the -fnd flag.

The environment managers need to be configured as NT services , and we
use the srvcinst utility to install them. Does anybody know how to pass
additional environment settings to server partitions, keeping them
differentiated among different environments ? We cannot use the system
variable settings , because they are shared among the different
environments. We cannot use the
mycomputer\hkey_local_machine\software\fortesoftwareinc\forte\3.0.f.2,
because of the same reason ?
We're also experiencing an error when trying starting a partition up,
because the server partitions don't seem to recognize the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS environment variable.
Has anybody ever experienced an error such as that one?
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Another way that I have done this is to use the SRVANY tool included with
the NT resource kit to run a .BAT file as an NT service. The .BAT file sets
the appropriate environment variables and then starts the node manager. The
benefit of this approach is that any FTEXECs started by the node manager
inherit this environment.
