SET SERVER TMF ON, AUTORESTART 2
SET SERVER PARAM DATABUILD $DATA01.KOD2016
ADD SERVER T9154-HELP-SERV
PATHCNFG names the location of each input and output file. For example, the
following statement gives the location of the input file DATAIN01:
SET SERVER DEFINE =DATAIN01, CLASS MAP, FILE $CONVERT.SUBVOL.DATAIN01
You will see a similar statement for each input and output file.
Because PATHCNFG is used for all the Data Build samples, this file contains
information that is not used in an Enscribe conversion. For example, the location of
the NonStop SQL catalog and tables is not used in this conversion. You can ignore it
for now.
Recap So far you have:
Identified the sample input files.
Checked that each input file has a Source Record Descriptions file.
Looked at a Source Record Descriptions file.
Looked at the DEFINES file.
Looked at the PATHCNFG file.
You have now completed the necessary steps outside of Data Build. The next
procedure is to start Data Build and continue with the steps inside Data Build.
Running Data Build To run Data Build, follow these steps:
1. Cold start the Pathway system by entering the following at the TACL prompt:
1> OBEY XSTART
You must cold start Pathway if no previous PATHCTL exists or major changes are
being made to PATHCTL. Pathway displays the cold start on the terminal and the
TACL prompt returns.
2. Review the Pathway cold start log by running Peruse and looking at location
#PLOG on the spooler.
3. Exit Peruse.
4. Run Data Build by entering the following at the TACL prompt:
2> OBEY XRUN
Data Build’s Main Menu displays, as shown in Figure 5-1 below.
