Reconfiguring a Single Extract

The procedure for reconfiguring a single leaf extract is as follows:

1. Reconfigure from the Database (DB) to a file.

2. REVERT the extract to Session 1.

3. MERGE CHANGES to remove the intermediate session.

4. Reconfigure from the file to a DB.

An alternative strategy would be to replace Steps 2 and 3 by a DB deletion and a DB creation.

The procedure is similar for single extracts that own other extracts. The only difference is:

• The MERGE CHANGES command will leave sessions referred to by child extracts. Thus, the resulting file will be larger than it would have been had there been no extract children.

• The alternative approach of deleting and recreating the extract is not possible unless all child extracts are also deleted and recreated.

• The Master DB should be reverted to Session 2 rather than Session 1.
