Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000)

Use this session to convert the changed software components to the runtime data dictionary. This is done by a range of package combinations/packages.

Session usage

Specify the appropriate ranges and indicate which components must be converted.

Only the table definitions are created, not the tables themselves. To create the tables, use the Create Tables (ttaad4230m000) session.

Note

If the Reconfigure Tables check box is selected, the system will reconfigure all changed tables. The range of tables is not taken into account. Tables are reconfigured for the companies linked to the specified range of package combinations.

To avoid problems with locked tables:

  1. Ensure that everybody has signed out from LN. If the reconfiguration of the tables is not successful, for example because of lock errors, this question is displayed: Error during file configuration; try again? To stop the process, click No in the message box.
  2. Start the Application Locks (ttadv9598m000) session and remove the application locks for this conversion session.
  3. Restart this Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session and restart the reconfiguration of the tables.
  4. After the conversion has been finished, ensure that all users restart their bshells. This is to avoid errors within those Bshells.

The output of the reconfiguring process is logged in the $BSE/log/log.reconfig file.

 

Domains

If this check box is selected, the domains are converted to the runtime data dictionary.

Tables

If this check box is selected, the tables are converted to the runtime data dictionary.

Reconfigure Tables

If this check box is selected, the tables are reconfigured.

Reconfiguration means that a new table definition is created on the basis of the table and domain definitions in the data dictionary. This is only done if the definitions have been changed in the development environment.

The reconfiguration of the tables is only possible if tables or domains have been created in the runtime data dictionary.

Package Combination

The package combinations whose data is to be converted to the runtime data dictionary.

Package

The packages for which the tables and domains must be converted to the runtime data dictionary.

Tables

The changed tables that must be converted to the data dictionary.

Runtime Directories

If this check box is selected, the file definition fd6.2 file of the defined package combination is dumped to the runtime data dictionary. The runtime directories are located in the file definition and contain the runtime objects.

Note

During this action the user files of the LN user are also dumped to the runtime data dictionary of the defined package combination.

Print Errors

If this check box is selected, the errors that occur during the conversion to the runtime data dictionary are displayed.

 

Log Entries

Only the log entries are displayed that are generated by the actual session.
