Startup by Client
Application
You can explicitly start the Tandem DDE Gateway for your client application. Also,
many client applications such as Microsoft Excel will automatically prompt you for
startup of a DDE server if the server is not already executing on the workstation. To
ensure successful startup, however, use one of the following sequences:
1.
Set the DOS current drive and working directory to be the location of the Tandem
DDE Gateway (TDMGW.EXE) before starting it. This is appropriate only when
the Tandem DDE Gateway is explicitly started by code in your client rather than
by the built-in functionality of the client tool.
2.
In all other cases, perform the following steps:
a.
Add the location of the Tandem DDE Gateway (TDMGW.EXE) to the DOS
PATH variable.
b. Reboot your workstation.
c.
Add the TdmgwConfigurationFile option in the [Tdmgw] section of the
Windows configuration file (WIN.INI).
d. Fully qualify all file names in the Gateway Configuration File (usually
TDMGW.INI). The following configuration file fragment is an example:
