    Description:
    How can I create a variety of pc_b_eng services directories for serveral libraries in same installation?

    Resolution:
    In order to have multi pc_b_eng directories you must have multiple pc_server_defaults files and multi adm libraries.
    Each pc_server_defaults file will include a variable "pc_services_directory" which will be the services directory.
    It will be $data_root/pc_b_eng of each library. It may be copied from $alephe_root/pc_b_eng and then customized.

    Example:
    You have:
    $alephe_root/pc_server_defaults.11027
    $alephe_root/pc_server_defaults.10627

    The first case is used when user has 11027 port in his AL500/alephcom/tab/library.ini
    The second case is used when user has 10627 port in his AL500/alephcom/tab/library.ini

    Needless to say both of these pc servers must be running (may be activated via util W 3/3 then entering specific pc_server number)


    The pc_server_defaults files then have a definition of the services directory as follows:

    >>grep "setenv pc_services_directory" $alephe_root/pc_server_defaults.11027
    setenv pc_services_directory $alephe_dev/abc50
    >>grep "setenv pc_services_directory" $alephe_root/pc_server_defaults.10627
    setenv pc_services_directory $alephe_dev/def50

    In above case:
    user with 11027 port in his AL500/alephcom/tab/library.ini will get services menu from $alephe_dev/abc50/pc_b_eng (which is data_root of abc50)
    user with 10627 port in his AL500/alephcom/tab/library.ini will get services menu from $alephe_dev/def50/pc_b_eng (which is data_root of def50)

    After any change in one of the specific pc_b_eng directories the specific pc_server should be restarted
