4 BULDACCT
The BULDACCT utility lets users with SM capability take a snapshot of the directory structure on a source
system running MPE/iX and recreate it on a different destination system. It is especially useful for creating
a directory structure on a system without a tape drive where the ;DIRECTORY option of the RESTORE command
cannot be used.
BULDACCT also lets you migrate a set of accounts from one volume set to another. This is useful with mirror
disks, since they do not allow the system volume set to be mirrored, and it may have accounts that you need
moved to a different volume set.
BULDACCT has been enhanced to support the hierarchical file system of MPE/iX. As the default, BULDACCT
automatically saves all accounts, groups, users, hierarchical directories and the ACDs associated with the
directories. However, if BULDACCT detects that the operating system does not support POSIX, it does not look
for any hierarchical directories.
In addition, three new options have been added to BULDACCT: %NODIRS%, %ROOT% and %NOROOT%.
These options let you control the migration of root and non-root hierarchical directories when using
BULDACCT. Each option is explained in the "Operation" section.
