Presets
ISL inherits most of the settings from the environment in which it’s launched. For settings that cannot be inherited, some configuration properties are provided. See Library Routines Configuration for the list and description of these properties.
In order to run ISL with a configuration file (e.g. isl.properties), use the command:
iscrun -c isl.properties -utility isl |
Thin Client
ISL can’t be used in thin client environment.
