Rebuilding An Audited Dictionary; Converting A Dictionary - HP DDL D40 Reference Manual

Dictionary Maintenance
To illustrate these procedures, this example rebuilds a dictionary with a schema
generated from a corrupted dictionary.
65> DDL
!?DICT $data.sales
!?DDL $data.newsales.ddlsrc
!OUTPUT *
!?NODDL
!?DICT $data.newsales
!?SOURCE $data.newsales.ddlsrc
!EXIT
In some cases, you cannot generate a source schema from a corrupted dictionary. To
protect your dictionary from such an occurrence, you should keep a fairly current
backup schema of any important dictionary.

Rebuilding an Audited Dictionary

Audited dictionaries rarely need to be rebuilt. The TMF subsystem protects your
dictionary from becoming corrupt by packaging changes into transactions, or units of
recovery. A transaction either modifies the dictionary, or it fails. If a transaction fails, the
TMF subsystem undoes the changes and restores the dictionary to its initial state. You
need to rebuild an audited dictionary only if the TMF system failure occurs.
Assume that a dictionary has been created on the subvolume $DATA.SALES. Type the
following command to determine if the dictionary is audited:
66> FUP INFO $data.sales.*
FUP displays the following information:
$DATA.SALES
DICTALT
DICTCDF
DICTDDF
DICTKDF
DICTMAP
DICTOBL
DICTODF
DICTOTF
DICTOUF
DICTOUK
DICTRDF
DICTTKN
DICTTYP
DICTVER
As shown here, all dictionary files are audited except DICTDDF.
If you have a system failure and must rebuild the audited files, follow the procedures
described in the NonStop™ TM/MP Management Programming Manual.
