populatedirectives - Populate directives

populatedirectives dataarea logFile oldDirectivesFile

When sqldbcopyis run, one or more tables might fail to process. Rather than manually determining the tables that have not completed processing, you can run the populatedirectivesutility before rerunning sqldbcopy. The populatedirectivesutility uses the log file and the old directives file to populate a new directives file that contains the tables that must complete processing. The new directives file can then be referenced when you rerun sqldbcopy.

For more information, see the Lawson Administration: Data Accessguide for the database you use.


Program Option	Description
`dataarea`	Data area to process
`logFile`	Log file that resulted from previously running sqldbcopy
`oldDirectivesFile`	Directives file previously used by sqldbcopy
