This contribution consistes of two files: this brief text file and a
short REXX procedure. The procedure (which I assign to an entry on the
Launch PAd), starts up the File-Cabinet Server and then starts OS2-CIM.
I use this to avoid the "cannot-connect-to-file-cabinet" problem which
remains a source of trouble to many.
Installation:
1) Unzip the container file and place OS2-CIMA.CMD in the ?:\CSERVE\OS2-CIM
directory. If you set up a remote reference (such as placing OS2-CIM on
the launch pad) you will want to make ?:\CSERVE\OS2-CIM the working
directory on the first page of Settings.
2) Change the second line of OS2-CIMA.CMD to point to the drive on which
you have installed OS2-CIM. This is currently coded as "?", which is
not likely to work.
The procedure is fairly simple: start the File Cabinet Server, wait one
second for it to get established, and then start OS2-CIM. The only time
I had a problem using this procedure was when I had a full-screen Windows
session active but minimized. That one time, it took OS2-CIM so long
to crank up that FCSERVER gave up on waiting for it.
Please use this procedure at your own risk. It works for me; your mileage
may vary.
