TRANSFER Installation and Management Guide

System Installation Procedures

068837, Update 1 to 013198 Tandem Computers Incorporated 6–5

INITIAL

provides for initializing Base TRANSFER data files. Specify INITIAL when you

first install Base TRANSFER or when you wish to reinitialize the data files. The

Base TRANSFER data files must not exist.

REDEFINE

provides for changing reconfigurable parameters for Base TRANSFER for an

existing TRANSFER system. REDEFINE is optional and is assumed if you specify

neither REDEFINE nor INITIAL.

Example

Here is an example of how you run the CDTRDEF program:

1> RUN CDTRDEF /OUT $S.#trout,NOWAIT/ trancnfg INITIAL

This command specifies processing for the initial installation of Base TRANSFER and

specifies that define file DEFINETR resides on subvolume TRANCNFG. In this

example the TRANSFER user-DSV is the current default subvolume. CDTRDEF

writes the generated files to subvolume TRANCNFG and the listing to the spooler file

#TROUT. NOWAIT returns immediate control to the terminal while execution

continues. CDTRDEF checks input data for required parameters and performs some

parameter checking. If CDTRDEF finds input errors, CDTRDEF issues a message to

the listing file. If CDTRDEF execution results in errors, make the indicated corrections

in the DEFINETR file and rerun CDTRDEF. Continue this process until execution

results in this message: “CDTRDEF finished successfully.”

If the definition run specifies INITIAL, CDTRDEF uses configuration information to

generate files that initialize TRANSFER data files. These files are:GTRINIT

GTRINIT, a GUARDIAN 90 command interpreter obey file that contains

commands to invoke programs that create and initialize the Base TRANSFER data

files

GTRFUP, which contains File Utility Program (FUP) commands to create

TRANSFER data files

GTRLOAD, which contains NALOAD commands to initialize data in the name
