6. Move the help text files to the production subvolume.
If the application is no longer in a testing environment, use FUP to move the files
to the production help subvolume. The help text files are:
HELPPOS HELPTXT
HELPREQ HELPALT0
The four help text files include an alternate key file, HELPALT0. The files that use
the alternate key file, HELPTXT and HELPREQ, must be altered to point to the
copy of HELPALT0 that resides on the production help subvolume. You can use
the following FUP commands to copy the files and alter the HELPTXT and
HELPREQ file labels:
FUP DUP (helptxt, helpalt0, helppos, helpreq),
$
prod-vol.prod-subvol
.*
FUP ALTER $
prod-vol.prod-subvol
.helptxt, ALTFILE
(0, $
prod-vol.prod-subvol
.helpalt0)
FUP ALTER $
prod-vol.prod-subvol
.helpreq, ALTFILE
(0, $
prod-vol.prod-subvol
.helpalt0)
$
prod-vol.prod-subvol
is the volume and subvolume on
which your production help text files reside.
Adding, Modifying, or
Deleting Requesters
The Pathmaker product helps you add, modify, or delete requesters from installed
applications. The steps you perform when adding, modifying, or deleting requesters
depend on whether you are also adding or deleting services associated with the
requester. The procedures in this subsection are useful if you are not adding or
deleting services. If you plan to add or delete a service, see “Adding, Modifying, or
Deleting Services” later in this section.
Tandem provides a standard Enform query, PM4, that lists the attributes of each
requester in the project catalog. The Pathmaker Reference Manual contains detailed
information about using Enform to produce this query and other standard queries
supplied for the Pathmaker product.
Adding Requesters The steps for adding requesters vary depending on whether you are adding:
Transaction (TRNS) or menu (MENU) requesters
Database (DB) requesters
Registered (REG) requesters
Initial requesters
TRNS, MENU, DB, and REG requesters are the four types of requesters used in the
Pathmaker product to create an application. An initial requester is a top-level
requester in the application and can be any one of the four types provided by the
Pathmaker product.
