This applies to programs using file names that do not specify a path. To create new files via the InfoExpress server rather than in the current working directory, use the following configuration record:

DISABLE-LOCAL-ACCESS-METHOD=UNQUALIFIED-NAMES

However, this option affects only where new files are created; it does not affect finding
existing files in the current working directory.

If you have files in the current working directory with names that match what the program is looking for, but want the request to go through InfoExpress, there are some undocumented DISABLE-LOCAL-ACCESS-METHOD options that should work for you.

These are: ALWAYS, INX-ORG, REL-ORG, and SEQ-ORG.

ALWAYS means that the local access method is disabled for *every* file, including program and temporary files. (You probably don't want to use this one.)

The three xxx-ORG options mean that the local access method is disabled for all files of that organization (Index, Relative, and Sequential files, respectively). If you want to access *all* data files through InfoX, then setting all three of these options should work for you.

Use this configuration record, in addition to EXTERNAL-ACCESS-METHOD record, to access all three types of files on the InfoX server when files with the same name were in the current working directory:

RUN-FILES-ATTR DISABLE-LOCAL-ACCESS-METHOD=INX-ORG,REL-ORG,SEQ-ORG
