Building The Image - Symbol PDT 3400 Series Product Reference Manual

PDT 3400 Product Reference Guide

Building the Image

As part of the build, TCM automatically performs a check on the script. The check includes
verifying that all files referenced in the script actually exist. If the image is bootable, TCM
verifies that the boot files are available. If the image includes a compressed volume, TCM
checks for the Stacker volume and information files on the hard disk.
If all the referenced files are found, TCM also compares the date-time stamp of the script and
referenced files and subscripts against the time-date stamp for the existing hex image (if a hex
image was built previously). If the hex file does not exist or if the script or any referenced file
or subscript has a newer date-time stamp than the existing image, TCM builds a new image.
Note: Performing a check is more important for previously existing scripts
to ensure that files referenced in the script are still in the designated
locations.
To check a script:
1. In the Script Window, select the script.
2. Save the script, if not already saved.
3. Choose Script Menu | Check from the menu bar.
OR on the toolbar, choose the Check button.
4. TCM verifies that files referenced in the script exist on available drives and lists an
error message in the Errors found box for any missing files (refer to Figure 6-10).
5. Choose the OK button to exit.
