GOAL:
What are the VMS equivalents of various Progress commands in Unix.
FIX:
Some general comparatives between UNIX and VMS are:
- Under VMS, commands and their modifiers can be abbreviated to the least recognizable substring. For example:
PROGRESS/CREATE can be abbreviated to PROG/CRE provided there are no other commands that start with "PROG".
- Unlike UNIX, VMS is not case-sensitive.
- UNIX references environmental variables by preceding them with a dollar-sign (for example, $DLC/sports). VMS references logical names by ending them with a Colon (for example, DLC:sports).
- For descriptions of the various command modifiers, see the following Progress Solutions:
19413, "VMS Progress Server Command-Line Parameters"
19414, "VMS Progress Single-user Command-Line Parameters"
19415, "VMS Progress Client Command-Line Parameters"
- UNIX searches for executables and command scripts along the directories listed in the PATH environmental variable. Under VMS, commands must be either loaded into a command table (using the SET COMMAND function), or created as a symbol (by equating a local command to the path to the executable).
- To capture the output of a VMS command (for example, DBANALYS, TABANALYS, use the following commands:
DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT results.txt
PROGRESS/UTILITIES=DBANALYS testdb
DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT
Specific comparatives between UNIX and VMS are:
- Database creation and deletion:
UNIX: prodb db-name sports
VMS: PROGRESS/CREATE db-name sports
UNIX: procopy $DLC/sports db-name
VMS: procopy DLC:sports db-name
UNIX: prodel db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/DELETE db-name
- PROSTRCT commands:
UNIX: prostrct create db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/CREATE db-name
UNIX: prostrct add db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/ADD=structure-file db-Name
UNIX: prostrct convert db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/CONVERT db-name
UNIX: prostrct list db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/LIST=structure-file db-Name
UNIX: prostrct remove db-name token
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/REMOVE=token db-name
UNIX: prostrct repair db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/REPAIR=structure db-name
UNIX: prostrct unlock db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/STRUCTURE/UNLOCK db-name
- Background processes:
UNIX: proaiw db-name
VMS: @BIN:PROAIW db-name
UNIX: proapw db-name
VMS: @BIN:PROAPW db-name
UNIX: probiw db-name
VMS: @BIN:PROBIW db-name
UNIX: prowdog db-name
VMS: @BIN:PROWDOG db-name
- Multi-user commands:
UNIX: proserve db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/MULTI_USER=START_SERVER db-name
UNIX: mpro db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/MULTI_USER=LOGIN/parameters db-Name
UNIX: proshut db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/MULTI_USER=SHUTDOWN db-name
- Miscellaneous commands:
UNIX: promon db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/MULTI_USER=SHUTDOWN/MONITOR db-Name
UNIX: prolog db-name
VMS: PROGRESS/PURGE_LOG db-name
UNIX: showcfg
VMS: (see Progress KBase 15783)
UNIX: proutil db-name -C dbrpr
VMS: (see Progress Kbase 19016)
- Backup commands:
UNIX: probkup db-name backup-file
VMS: PROGRESS/BACKUP db-name backup-file
UNIX: prorest db-name backup-file
VMS: PROGRESS/RESTORE db-name backup-file
- PROMON:
UNIX: promon db-name < promon-command-file > promon-output-file
VMS: Five steps:
a) DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT promon-output-file.
b) DEFINE SYS$INPUT promon-command-file.
c) PROGRESS/MULTI_USER=SHUTDOWN/MONITOR db-name.
d) DEASSIGN SYS$INPUT.
e) DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT.
