URLs can be used in region startup files to specify the locations of the program and data files used by the region. It is not necessary to understand the formats of these URLS if you use the Region Startup File Editor in the Enterprise Server for .NET Administration UI to configure the program and data locations as they will be automatically constructed for you. See CICS Region Configuration and JES Region Configuration for details as to how you would do this.
The URL formats supported by Micro Focus Enterprise Server for .NET are:
Specifies the location of files on the local disk or a network drive. Format:
file:///x:/path/to/directory
For example:
<location url="file:///c:/MyBinaries" />
Specifies the location of files deployed to the cross-region database. Format:
crossRegionDatabase
For example:
<location url="crossRegionDatabase" />
Specifies the location of files deployed to the region database. Format:
regionDatabase
For example:
<location url="regionDatabase" />
Specifies the location of files deployed to a user-specified database. Format:
sql://server[/instance]/database/table
For example:
<location url="sql://localhost/sqlexpress/MYPROGRAMS/ESDEMO" />
Specifies the location of ffiles deployed to a data store database. Format:
sql://server[/instance]/datastore/?folder=/folder-name;type=folder
For example:
<location url="sql://localhost/sqlexpress/BINARIES/?folder=/ESDEMO;type=folder" />
