Migration Guide


Importing feature code

All feature code must be imported into the manager at install time. This is true whether a feature is loaded via the new feature-loading maps or via the older control files. Version 5.5 installs an importer program, importer.exe, in the <vast>\inst directory of machines with the client product installed and the manager product installed.

The importer accepts the following parameters:

-z.target=
accepts the location of the target library. This is the customer's V5.5 code library. The library can be specified in one of two ways:

libraryPath
This will use fileIO to access the library.

server::libraryPath
This will use EMSRV to access the library.

-z.source=
accepts the location of the source import library. The format is the same as for the target.

-z.sourcedir=
accepts a directory path. All *.dat files in the directory will be processed.
Note:Either -z.source or -z.sourcedir must be specified, but never both.

-z.silent
Runs with no user interface.

After the utility runs, check for non-zero exit codes. The importer.exe will end with a 0 (zero) exit code if the import was successful. If the import was not successful, the utility will end with a non-zero exit code.

The following are examples of how to run the utility:

	importer.exe -z.target=zot::d:\vast55\manager\mgr55.dat -z.source=e:\tmp\myfeat.dat
	importer.exe -z.target=zot::d:\Program_Files\vast55\manager\mgr55.dat -z.source=e:\tmp\myfeat.dat
	importer.exe -z.target=zot::d:\vast55\manager\mgr55.dat -z.sourcedir=e:\tmp\featureDir
 
Note:With File I/O only one person may be using the library manager at any one time or you will get the following error message:Error 65: Open Failed.
