Customize and Tune Your System

You can use the information in the Thoroughbred Basic Customization and Tuning Guides to tailor Thoroughbred Basic to meet site requirements. The manuals contain information on:

• How to configure terminals
• How to manipulate directories
• How to specify printers
• How to enable ghost tasks
• How to use system files

Immediate uses for this information depend on site requirements and on whether you installed or upgraded Thoroughbred Basic.

For an Installation

To this point you have established your system console as a terminal that Thoroughbred Basic can efficiently use. Now, you can define the other site terminals to Thoroughbred Basic and make sure that other users will not experience display problems. You may also want to define site printers to Thoroughbred Basic.

Apart from those two tasks, you may have no immediate need for customization and tuning. Because site requirements will change as you develop Thoroughbred Basic applications, it is a good idea to skim through the Thoroughbred Basic Customization and Tuning Guide so that you can anticipate and use the information to help plan future modifications to the Thoroughbred Basic environment.

For an Upgrade

Because you copied or restored the IPLINPUT, TERMINAL, and up to three TCONFIG files as part of your upgrade, you have preserved the environment your site established for previous releases of Thoroughbred Basic.

In all likelihood, you have no immediate need for customization and tuning, but you may want to review the information in the Thoroughbred Basic Customization and Tuning Guide to determine whether further modifications will enhance your system.
