KIXPROGS          (Environment)

DESCRIPTION
"KIXPROGS" tells Sun MTP where to find programs and tables to load on the fly.


VALUES
The value of "KIXPROGS" is a colon-separated list of directories that Sun MTP
searches sequentially from left to right. The format is as follows:

   directory[:directory] . . .

where each directory should be a valid system directory. Items in brackets are
optional.


INTERPRETATION
While transactions execute, Sun MTP must obtain application programs requested by
a transaction or by another application program. When a transaction references 
an application program, Sun MTP searches the directories specified by "KIXPROGS" 
to obtain the program and subsequently load it into memory for execution. Sun MTP
also searches "KIXPROGS" when an application program requests a load of a table 
into memory via the LOAD request.


CONCLUSIONS
You are not required to set "KIXPROGS" in order to initiate a Sun MTP system.

Sun MTPScan displays the value of "KIXPROGS" as it is being used by a Sun MTP system.
Even with the system up and running, it does not mean that the value of the
environment variable is correct. If the system exhibits strange behavior,
examine the values of all environment variables on Sun MTPScan's Environment Screen
to ensure that the Sun MTP system has been told correctly where to look for the
components needed to execute a system.
