Saving the Reference Number Index

The RCFUPDATE command is usually given immediately after Databases (DBs) have been reconfigured. The index can be saved to a file when the reconfiguration has been completed, to be used at a later date.
The commands are DUMP to save to a file, and LOAD to load a file. For example:
|
LOAD /DUMP1 FROM DB MASTER/DESIGN TO DB MASTER/DESNEW RCFCOPY ALL RECONFIGURE DUMP /DUMP2 |
These commands will read an existing reference number index from file /DUMP1, add the reference number pairs from the specified reconfiguration to it, and then write the index out again to the file /DUMP2.
If a number of DBs have been reconfigured, the dump file will record the cross-reference index for all of them.
The LOAD command replaces the current index. The command LOAD APPEND appends the table to the current index.
