3. TalkThru Initialization/Termination
3.1 Overview
During initialization, TalkThru performs the following activities:
1. It loads all the variables indicated in The Customization File so that
they will be available to all other TalkThru sessions (see the Chapter,
The Customization File for more information).
2. It opens the Phone Book whose name was passed on the command line or, if
one is not specified, it invokes the default Phone Book (SAMPLES.PBK).
IMPORTANT:
All TalkThru components run as entirely separate OS/2 Sessions and
multiple Phone Books may be active at one time, but you only need to
perform TalkThru initialization once. Once this is done, additional
Phone Books can be started from ANY Phone Book window.
3.2 TalkThru Invocation
TalkThru is invoked with the following command:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TalkThru [/I /Q /WF:xxxx ] disk:\pathname\filename ph one-book │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
where:
TalkThru
is the program name of TalkThru initialization
disk:\pathname\filename
is the fully qualified name of the TalkThru Customization File which
defines your OS/2 environment to TalkThru. This file is created
during TalkThru installation and placed into the root TalkThru
directory, normally C:\TALKTHRU. Its name at installation is
TALKTHRU.DEF. Refer to the Chapter, The Customization File for more
information on this file.
phone-book
is the name of the first phone-book to be opened by TalkThru. This
is an optional parameter, the default being SAMPLES. SAMPLES.PBK is
distributed with TalkThru and is installed at installation time.
/I
This option will force TalkThru to iconize itself on startup.
/Q /WF:xxxx
When invoking TalkThru using STARTUP.CMD, often you may wish to wait
until specific Communications Manager sessions have also begun. To
accommodate this, a command line option has been provided to force
TalkThru to wait until all of a specified list of 3270 sessions are
available through the EHLLAPI interface. xxxx represents the short
Session Ids (A, B, etc.) of the sessions which MUST be active before
TalkThru initialization is completed.
This option should appear between the TalkThru program name and the
customization file specification and is most effective when combined
with the /Q (QUIET startup mode) option.
WARNING:
If you specify your own phone-book, you MUST NOT include the
extension. .PBK is an extension automatically added by TalkThru so it
will not find your Phone Book if you include the extension yourself.
If all of the defaults were used at installation time, below would be the
appropriate syntax for invoking TalkThru:
TALKTHRU C:\TALKTHRU\TALKTHRU.DEF
Normally, you will not have to issue the TalkThru command. During
installation, TalkThru is automatically added to your Desktop.
REMEMBER:
If you wish to modify which Phone Book is opened during TalkThru
initialization, you should modify your Desktop Manager Menu (TalkThru
release 1.03) or your TalkThru icon (TalkThru release 2.3) to include
the Phone Book name on the command line.
If you wish to add TalkThru to your STARTUP.CMD file, prefix the invocation
of TalkThru discussed above with the following parameters:
start /pm
3.3 TalkThru Termination
TalkThru is terminated by requesting Exit from the Phone Book pull down
menu on any Phone Book.
TalkThru will only terminate after EVERY TalkThru session has been properly
terminated.
