prostrct repair utility for multi-volume database in 7.3A
This notebook entry describes the undocumented 7.3A enhancement to the
prostrct utility.
The prostrct repair utility was added to 7.3A to eliminate having to
edit database structure extent (.db file) to straighten out extent
path names. This can be useful for getting an OS copy of a multi-
volume database working after it is copied off tape.
Three steps are needed to use prostrct repair:
1) a structure file (.st file) is created from the structure extent
(.db). This command only needs to read the structure extent so other
extents are not needed for this step.
2) edit the structure file (.st) created and correct any path name
problems. Do not change anything but the path names or else this
will not work.
3) use prostrct repair to take the new structure file (.st) and put
it into the structure extent (.db):
prostrct list <dbname>
vi <dbname>.st
prostrct repair <dbname> <dbname.st>
