How do I setup a dedicated indexer on a Novell Network that use NLM 1.5. We have try to set the station up by changing the flag in the utilities-]workstation-]hardware menus. But the change is then dynamically change on all the station that currently logon to Arev.
Have anyone encounter this problem before. if yes, is there a resolution to this. Or did I not do the procedure correctly.
Pleas Help
Thank you for your reply

The item you are setting goes with the environment. Check the secureuser utility to see what environment is being used for the users. To maintain this information separately for each user, they will each have to have their own environment record.
There are other settings that are set in the INI file. You can set the INI file using the DOS variable like this:
SET AREV=whatever.INI
This will set workstation-specific settings.

Along the lines of what Victor said, the easiest way to do this is to set up a separate environment for your dedicated indexer. Make sure it has access to all of the tables the regular user environments do, and then you can set the hardware settings without affecting the other users.

Isn't the flag was save internally within Arev, like a Dll file or so.
The flag got update dynamically throughout the whole network. Even with different username log into Arev, the flags still change

Arev does not use DLLs. You should understand that the user record is separate from the environment record. Most likely you have it set up so that all users use the same environment record. Log on to SYSPROG and use the SECUREUSER utility to set up the user with a different environment record.
What is happening is that when a user logs on, the system checks his user record to see what environment record to load. Then it fetches the environment record and configures the environment accordingly. When you change the environment record as you did, it changes the environment record, which is saved in the SYSENV file. If everyone uses the same record, the next time someone logs on, they will load this amended record.

Not quite true with 3.x. 3.x took some of what used to be in the SYSTEM file and moved it to the DOS level INI file. One of these settings is the background indexing time. What he needs to do is copy AREVC.INI to INDEXER.INI. Go to the indexing machine and add SET AREV=INDEXER.INI in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Then, from the indexer, log in and change the background times. This will set the times for any workstation defined to use the INDEXER.INI file, which should only be the indexing machine. That's why it should be set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT so another workstation doesn't decide to use it's batch file or something.
