Steps for Running ZPHIRNM
4. Run the OSS merge_whatis command. (The merge_whatis command is a
shell script in /bin that creates and updates the whatis database used by the
OSS shell man, apropos, and whatis commands.) You might have a shell
script that runs either one or both of the following, depending on your OSS
environment:
/bin/merge_whatis
/bin/merge_whatis /nonnative/usr/share/man
The CISC version of the c89(1) man page resides in the /nonnative directory.
a. Log on to OSS as the super ID (255,255).
Current volume is $SYSTEM.STARTUP
$SYSTEM STARTUP 1> osh
b. Change directory using the cd command. For example:
/G/SYSTEM/STARTUP: cd /usr/share/man
c. Run the merge_whatis command:
/usr/share/man: merge_whatis
d. Enter the list (ls) command. For example:
/usr/share/man: ls
cat1 cat4 cat7 whatis.frag
cat2 cat5 cat8 whatis_old
cat3 cat6 whatis
/usr/share/man:
After you run merge_whatis, the directory will contain a file named whatis,
containing the database. If you have previously installed OSS, a file named
whatis_old is present, containing the previous version of the database.
5. If necessary, you can compare the creation dates of the whatis file to the
whatis_old file to see if any changes occurred:
a. Run the more command against the whatis file:
more /usr/share/man/whatis
b. After reviewing the displayed file, exit by entering q at the percentage (%)
prompt.
Note. You can run the Pcleanup utility on any file that is managed and audited by DSM/SCM
before running the merge_whatis command. However, the OSS utility, Pcleanup cleans up
OSS files, but not DSM/SCM files in the OSS file system. Only the DSM/SCM CLEANOSS
macro cleans up DSM/SCM files in the OSS file system. The CLEANOSS macro is run only if
you fall back and then migrate again to a T6031D46 product version. During a Build/Applly,
DSM/SCM automatically prompts you to run the CLEANOSS macro.
