MERT - Description of steps
You must define the new Meta Entities in the following way:
- Create the new Meta Entities by running the VINS procedure with the BVPMETHOD file.
- Run the MERT procedure.
- Run the UPDP procedure to update the Pacbase database with the new User Entities created by the MERT procedure.
- Apply the new format to the Pacdesign User Entities associated with the model used by running the VINS procedure with the BVPMERF2 file, if the model used is MERISE.
- Reorganize the database with the REOR procedure to take
the index file into account.
Caution: After this update, the modified entities cannot be used anymore by Pacdesign.
You can obtain the BVPMETHOD and BVPMERF2 file from the VisualAge Pacbase support.
