TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK)
On the ETK platform, this GUI-based tool allows you to add ADD, MODIFY, SET, and DELETE
statements to a DEFINE file. The TACL DEFINE tool automatically sets the first entry in the DEFINE
obey file to be SET DEFMODE ON. You can leave this default or change it to SET DEFMODE OFF.
Files created by the TACL DEFINE tool have the extension .tdf.
PC-to-NonStop-Host Transfer Tools
ETK
The Deploy command builds and copies each project in the active solution to the NonStop host.
The Transfer Tool moves any kind of files to the NonStop host for execution and debugging.
The Transfer Tool is better for transferring very large, complex applications to the NonStop host.
For most applications, Deploy is more convenient.
PC Command Line
From the PC command line, you can use any FTP application to transfer executable and source
files to the NonStop host.
