Walkthrough

This example demonstrates several of the features described in this chapter. We'll start a Fileshare server, just as we did in the chapter Using Enterprise Server with Fileshare, but this time we'll use a configuration file, install Fileshare as a Windows service, and enable synchronous communications and tracing.

First make sure you do not have a Fileshare server currently running.

1. Create file fs.cfg, containing:

   /s server1
   /wd c:\fsdir
   /pf pass.dat
   /sc
   /tr f

2. Save this file to c:\windows\system32.
3. If you have not already done so (you may have already done this in the Walkthrough in the section FSView), create file pass.dat in your c:\fsdir directory by entering:

   fs /pf pass.dat /u FSVIEW /pw Meryton

   The existence of this password file enables you to use FSView.

4. To install the Fileshare service. at a command prompt, enter:

   fsservice -i

5. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
6. Select Micro Focus Fileshare Service and click Start.

   You can also if you wish double-click Micro Focus Fileshare Service and change its Startup Type to Automatic, so that it will start whenever you start Windows.
