Setting up ABS over a Novell Network

Complete all of the steps shown in the Software Installation and User Configuration sections.

After this has been accomplished, it is suggested that you create a User Group to include all of the ABS users, such as “KEYSTONE”. Next, add the following directives to the system login script file for the KEYSTONE members:

1. Map a search drive to the location of the ABS executable programs:

MAP {INS} S[n]:=[server_id]\SYS:{directory}

2. Map a root drive to the location of the \ABS directory:

MAP ROOT [drive:]=[server_id]\SYS:{directory}\ABS
DATA TREE [drive:]\ABS\DATA
			   \GLOG
			   \HELP
			   \MLOG
			   \USERn
			   \LOGS*

*The \ABS\LOGS sub-directory is only required for users of the Management Reporting System (MARS). See Setting up the Management Reporting System for more information.

For example:

IF MEMBER OF "KEYSTONE" THEN BEGIN
MAP S16:=SERVER1\SYS:\APPS\TASK
MAP ROOT K:=SERVER1\SYS:\APPS*

*Do not include the directory \ABS on the end of the map root statement.

NOTE: It is imperative that every ABS user have network privileges which include READ, WRITE, and DELETE in each \ABS sub-directory (\DATA, \HELP, \USER1, etc.). READ-only privileges can be specified for the \TASK directory. It is also imperative that each user run from their own unique user directory (i.e., \ABS\USER1). Users CANNOT share the same user directory.

Based on the above configuration, the ABS.INI settings would be as follows:
