System Files

Directory: gets localized via environment variable CX_SYSTEM, default: CX_ROOTDIR\system\cutomer; %CX_ROOTDIR%\system

ClassiX^® requires the following system files:

Log files are written into the CX_SYSTEM directory by the setup program (INSTALL.LOG) and by ClassiX^® (CLASSIX.LOG).

The system directory (and sub-directories) contains: 

• a general initialization file (CLASSIX.INI), including all files that have been inserted with #include (CLASSIX.DIC, CLASSIX.ODB ...)
• specifications about customized locale information (LOCALES.TXT) (in the customer sub-directory)
• the InstantView^® commands (IVCommandsPC.ini) that have been endtered into the monitor window last
• usually the log file (CX_PC.log) that has been written by the ClassiX^® system
• the supervisor cxrosr.exe (CXAbend.log) log file

whereas PC stands for the current computer name.

The path to the system directory is defined via environment variables CX_SYSTEM, CX_SYSTEM_OUT and CX_ROOTDIR.

Reading access to a file:

• CX_SYSTEM=subPath₁, subPath₂, ..., subPath_n has been set:
  
  In all sub-paths, it is searched for the file in the indicated order. In case the file is not found, it will be searched in the CX_ROOTDIR\system.
  
  
  
• CX_SYSTEM has not been set, yet:
  
  The file gets searched in the directory CX_ROOTDIR\system.
  
  
  
• CX_ROOTDIR and CX_SYSTEM not set:
  
  The directory x:\ClassiX\system gets browsed, while x stands for the drive of the current directory (working directory).
  
  

Writing access to a file:

• CX_SYSTEM_OUT=pfad set:
  
  The file gets written into the indicated directory.
  
  
  
• CX_SYSTEM_OUT not set, but CX_SYSTEM=subPath₁, subPath₂, ..., subPath_n is indicated:
  
  When a file with the same name exists in one of the paths, it will be overwritten via output file. In any other case, it will be written in CX_ROOTDIR\system, independent from whether there is a file with the same name, or not.
  
  
  
• CX_SYSTEM_OUT and CX_SYSTEM have not been set, yet:
  
  The output file gets written into CX_ROOTDIR\system
  
  
  
• CX_ROOTDIR and CX_SYSTEM not set:
  
  The output file gets written into the directory x:\ClassiX\system, whereas x stands for the drive of the current directory (working directory).
  
  

Explicitly specified (complete) paths for a file are preferred - the file will only be read/written according to this specification; the rules from above do not apply.
