Pat, I had a bit of a shock while composing my penultimate post to Rogers in discovering that the lists in section 1.2.8.2, "Resolver configuration files", were not the actual search orders and that there was much more to it. I've done a bit more in the way of research - it couldn't be worse explained if they tried - nul points[1] for the authors of the CS IP Configuration Guide.
I'll send you my summary of the "convolutions" and you can see if it's any better than the regular manuals. Chris Mason [1] That only works in Europe, the Eurovision song contest is coming round again - <g> for groan - think Norway - although their neighbour is famous for promoting where I live. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick O'Keefe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 11 May, 2006 9:38 PM Subject: Re: Revolver Issue > On Thu, 11 May 2006 14:01:28 -0400, Richard Pinion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > >Doesn't the RESOLVER address space setup the default resolver > configuration? > >... > > >>What I found in the revolver trace is it was using SYS1.TCPPARMS as the > >>default, so I made my changes there and it now works. > >>My next question is where can I change this default to something else? > >... > > Yes, but that might not answer the original question. > The IP Config Guide goes into detail about the convoluted search order > for dynamically allocated TCP/IP datasets and files (including HOSTS > datasets and files).
