    • LCS.NCF - Starts the Local Caching Server
    • PREFERENCES.NCF - Used to configure the LCS settings
  • To start the Local Caching Server by just typing 'LCS' at the NetWare system console, copy the LCS.NCF file into the 'SYS:\System' directory.

NOTE :
The LCS uses the 'server' mode of java to run the application. When you start the LCS from the System Console sometimes you might get the following error message :
"Cannot use the server JVM while the client JVM is running Java applications".
In such a case quit any java applications you may be running and type 'java -exit' in the System Console. Now type 'LCS' in the System Console to start the Local Caching Server.
