Saving the Reference Number Index

Administrator Command Reference Manual

Reconfiguration : Advanced Reconfiguration : Saving the Reference Number Index

The RCFUPDATE command is usually given immediately after databases have been reconfigured. The index can be saved to a file when the reconfiguration has been completed; to be used at a later date.

The commands are DUMP to save to a file, and LOAD to load a file. For example:

LOAD /DUMP1
FROM DB MASTER/DESIGN
TO DB MASTER/DESNEW
RCFCOPY ALL
RECONFIGURE
DUMP /DUMP2

These commands will read an existing reference number index from file /DUMP1, add the reference number pairs from the specified reconfiguration to it, and then write the index out again to the file /DUMP2.

If a number of databases have been reconfigured, the dump file will record the cross-reference index for all of them.

The LOAD command replaces the current index. The command LOAD APPEND appends the table to the current index.
