To copy a multicompany structure - Example

Points of attention:

• The set of logical tables for each target company must be identical to the set of the corresponding source company. For example: the set of logical tables for company 601 must be identical to the set for company 401, only the physical company must differ.
• You must link all logical tables to physical company 600.
• Convert the changes to the runtime data dictionary and restart your bshell to load the new settings.

For the second export, use exactly the same settings, except:

• Range of packages: th-zz
• Enter a different name for the error file, e.g. /tmp/err400-2

Points of attention:

• Specify a different directory for each company: /tmp/401, /tmp/402 and /tmp/403 for companies 401, 402 and 403 respectively.
• Enter a different name for the error file for each export.

To correct the company number references in the sequential files of company 400:

1. switch to company 400
2. run the session with the following settings:

Run the session another 3 times to correct the sequential files of companies 401, 402 and 403. Points of attention:

• Before you run the session you must switch to the appropriate source company number, e.g. switch to company 401 before you run the session to correct the files that were extracted from company 401.
• The Directory for Table Files differs per company number: /tmp/401, /tmp/402 and /tmp/403 for the files of companies 401, 402 and 403 respectively.
• The remaining settings must be exactly identical to the settings in the example above.

Use the same procedure to import data for the companies 601, 602 and 603. Points of attention:

• The Directory for Searching Table Files is different for each company:
  • /tmp/401 contains the files that must be loaded into company 601
  • /tmp/402 contains the files that must be loaded into company 602
  • /tmp/403 contains the files that must be loaded into company 603
• Enter a different name for the error file for each import.
