Complete these instruction to restore mds items if you are upgrading from an Earlier Release of D3 or Advanced Pick.
To selectively restore any custom items which reside in the mds file:
Insert the file-save tape and use the set-device command to select the proper tape device. Enter:
set-device device.number |
Rewind the tape, then restore any custom mds items. Enter:
t-rew sel-restore mds (n Restore from F)ull/Account, I)ncremental or T)ransaction log (f/i/t): f File of files number: 2 Restore from incremental save tape (y/n)? n Restore from transaction log tape (y/n)? n |
where (n = File of files number.
The mds file in D3 is equivalent to the system file of R83 and Pick compatible systems. To restore Q-pointers to D3, a sel-restore can be performed, but a different method should be used than for a restore of mds from a D3 tape. The specific command or options used may vary depending on the source system. We recommend restoring items to a non-mds file, checking that file, then copying the desired items to mds. This keeps unwanted items out of mds.
To migrate from a Pick compatible environment:
Execute these commands:
create-file old-system 1 3 set-device device.number t-rew sel-restore old-system Restore from F)ull/Account, I)ncremental or T)ransaction log (f/i/t): f Account name on tape: system File name on tape: <Enter> Restore from incremental save tape (y/n)? n Restore from transaction log tape (y/n)? n |
NOTE |
When entering the account name and file name at the prompts, you may need to enter system at each prompt, or you may need to perform a restore using the (n option. For example:
Consult documentation from the source system to determine the proper location and selective restore method. |
Remove unwanted items from old-system.
Copy the remaining items to mds.
copy old-system to: (mds |
