Network - Hints For Using A Search Drive Mapp |

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: This memo includes some helpful hints for using search drive mappings on a Novell network. There are three variations of using search drive mappings. The user may potentially cause problems with paths that reference WordPerfect products. This will happen if the user is not careful in how they use these mappings. This is particularly true if the user adds or changes the mappings after they have been created in the login script. The three possible variations to use search mappings are MAP S1:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORY MAP INS S1:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORY MAP S16:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORYThese three examples are intended to be used with a system that has existing search drive mappings. The first of the above examples (MAP S1:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORY\) will cause search 1 to become the next available drive letter (Z through K). This is fine, except that in the first example, the first search is replaced and the drive letter being used is deleted; which may not be fine. The problem is that if the customer is using a search drive mapping as a path, i.e., Z:\WP51\SETUP, then Z: no longer exists. The user has the same number of mappings as before, but one mapping has a different drive letter. The second example (MAP INS S1:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORY) is much safer. The first drive mapping is not deleted as it is replaced. Instead, it is moved (or inserted) to become search 2 with the same drive letter as it had previously. The user now has one more mapping than when they started. The first mapping will be a different drive letter than before, but the drive letter is still mapped. The last example (MAP S16:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORY\) will create a search that is the next available search drive number and drive letter. For example, if a user has three search drive mappings under the letters Z, Y and X (search 1 - 3), using MAP S16:=SERVER\VOLUME:DIRECTORY will create search 4 of drive W. The user then has one more mapping than when they started. The last mapping is the next sequential drive letter. This search drive mapping is the safest approach. |
