VMS AI roll forward functionality
VMS AI roll forward functionality
INTRODUCTION:
=============
The functionality on VMS AI roll forward with a date was not included
with roll forward. It has been added by Development and the
documentation will be done at a later date.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
If for whatever reason you only want to roll forward your ai file to a
specific date and time stamp you can now do this. Development has now
added this as an enhancement with patch 81a02.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
The command that you will need to use is
progress/utilities=roll_forward/after_image=a/endtime=yyyy:mm:dd:hh:m
m:ss/endtrans=transaction-number
And if you miss any part of the year/month/day/hour/minute/second, you
'll know about it. The only difference between the DLC Verb and the
the regular command syntax is that the Verb needs the "=" sign after
the qualifier. Development provided a way to access the parameters
as UNIX would expect them.
ONLINE PROCEDURES OR UTILITIES:
===============================
It is still possible to do the following:
rfutil :== $BIN:_rfutil.exe
rfutil sports "-C" roll forward -a sports.ai "-C" endtrans ! or endti
me
The key is the use of the "-C" before endtrans/endtime...
