Dispatch Rule files
All rule files must have a file extension of .rule and must be placed in the
X:\xvtp\dispatch\rules\
directory for the application to find them and for editing.
X
is the
disk drive where VIPO was initially installed.
To edit Dispatch Rule files, click the
Edit
drop-down menu and select the
Dispatch Rules
option. Some sample rule files are provided with this installation and can be used as a
template to create your own customized rule files.
The following are defaults and limits imposed on Dispatch Rule settings.
NOTE
Always use the GUI editing facilities to modify rule files because doing
manual edits may introduce errors in the file that can result in
unpredictable behavior.
