metaloadsys - System Meta Load

metaloadsys [-l] productline path/filename.sys | metadumpfilelist

metaloadsys is a utility that reads a systemCode.sys text dump file from the current directory and adds or updates that metadata into the GEN database. This is similar to using dbdef to add or update a system code. You can also use the -l option and specify a file containing a list of system metadata dump files. If you specify a path with the system metadata dump file names in the list, the path must be relative to where you run the metaloadsys command.

metaloadsys determines if the SystemCode exists in GEN/SYSTEM. If it does not exist, it is created. The systemcodesrc directory and metadata/systemcodemeta directories are created. If you are using 8.1.0 Lawson applications, the systemcodesrc/systemcodepdlib and systemcodesrc/systemcodewslib directories are created. metaloadsys then reads the text dump file and updates the metadata into the GEN database.

If you are loading more than one type of metadata, you must load the types in the proper order. For information on this order, see Metadata Loading Order.
