Subject: question about dbLoadTemplate()

Hi,

Standard way to use dbLoadTemplate()is
1. ***st.cmd***
cd $TOP
dbLoadTemplate( "db/Test.substitutions")

2. Test.substitutions has links to templates files
...
file db/Test1.template ...
file db/Test2.template ...

So Test.substitutions and templates (Test1.template and Test2.template)
files should be in the same directory (in this example top/db/ )

How can it be used if the files are in the different directories?

I found a way in vxWorks.
For example, Test.substitutions is in
/ade/epics/iocCommon/"IOCName"/Data
and Test.template is in /ade/epics/iocTop/R3.14.7/SystemX/R2-0/db. Then

1. st.cmd has

SubstitutionPath=malloc( 100)
sprintf SubstitutionPath, "/ade/epics/iocCommon/%s/Data",iocName
nfsMount nfsServer,SubstitutionPath,"/SubPath"

TemplatePath=malloc( 100)
sprintf TemplatePath, "/ade/epics/iocTop/R3.14.7/SystemX/R2-0/db"
nfsMount nfsServer, TemplatePath,"/TemPath"

...
cd "/SubPath"
dbLoadTemplate("Test.substitutions")

2. Test.substitutions file has

file TemPath/Test1.template ...
(!!! "file top/db/Test1.template ..." doesn't work)

It works. But that is spaghetti's way and I suppose it will not work in
Windows and Linux.

So question:
Has anyone done something similar (to have template and substitutions
files in different directories)?

Thanks, Andrei.
