Help files of the ClassiX® system

  • Initialisation file:
    When the ClassiX® system is started, information is read from an initialisation file (see CLASSIX.INI)
  • Location-specific data
    can be specified in the LOCALES.txt file in the system directory of the ClassiX® system (see CX_SYSTEM).
  • log file
    Start and end of a ClassiX® client are recorded in a log file.
    All error messages are registered in the log file. In addition, it contains warnings that would otherwise not be visible. Control with environment variables CX_LOG_FILE and CX_LOG_SIZE. The log file is written to the system output directory (see CX_SYSTEMOUT).
  • Text constants of the ClassiX® system
    Text constants are not part of the programme code in the ClassiX® system but are located in the file systemStrings.stg, in the same directory as the DLLs belonging to ClassiX®. The constants defined there can be overwritten in a separate customStrings.stg (in the system directory).
  • Text constants of the application are often part of the InstantView® code. However, they can also be stored in a separate file appsWHLiterals.stg (-> further notes).
  • Commands of the monitor window
    Commands that have been entered once can be called up again with the cursor ↑ and ↓ or page ↑ and ↓ keys , even if the ClassiX® system has been restarted in the meantime. The commands are stored in the system output directory (see CX_SYSTEMOUT) in a file called IVCommandsNNN.cmd, where NNNN stands for the name of the client.
    The file is only written if there are entered instructions. As soon as such a file exists, this is always the case: at the start they are read in and - regardless of whether new InstantView® instructions have been entered or not - written back before the programme is exited.
