1 CDDX CDDX is the repository translation utility. Use the REPOSITORY EXPORT and REPOSITORY IMPORT facilities of CDDX to perform a major upgrade (to upgrade a VAX CDD/Plus Version 4.n dictionary to an Oracle CDD/Repository Version 5.n or higher repository). Use the REPOSITORY EXPORT command to create an export file of your repository metadata. After you export the repository, you delete the contents of the anchor, and use the REPOSITORY IMPORT command to import the repository metadata from the export file. Do not use the CDDX utility to back up, verify, or move a dictionary or repository; instructions for performing those operations are in the Oracle CDD/Repository User's Guide. 2 EXPORT The CDDX utility creates an export file using the filename supplied in the REPOSITORY EXPORT command with a default extension of CDDX. Before issuing the REPOSITORY EXPORT command, make sure you have performed the steps necessary to prepare for an upgrade. See the CDD_REPOSITORY Upgrade_Procedure help topic or the Oracle CDD/Repository User's Guide for instructions. If your repository is corrupt and you issue the REPOSITORY EXPORT command, EXPORT displays warning messages. Oracle CDD/Repository attempts to export accessible portions of corrupt elements or to skip over elements that are too incomplete to be exported. The REPOSITORY EXPORT command creates an intermediate export file of your repository using the file name you specify. If you have delta files, it also creates a CDD$UPGRADE.BAK backup file. It places the .CDDX file and the .BAK file (if one was created) in your current directory by default, or you can specify another device and directory. Be sure you do not delete the .CDDX export file or the .BAK file (if one was created). $ REPOSITORY EXPORT [qualifiers] [parameters] 3 Qualifiers o /[NO]LOG Produces a line of text for every element in the repository. Use the /LOG qualifier only when you suspect a problem, because a large repository produces a large amount of output. The default is /NOLOG. o /VERSION=n Specifies the version of the repository you are exporting. See the table below for the versions supported on each OpenVMS platform. Version OpenVMS Platform VAX AXP I64 -------------------------- V4 X V5 X V51 X V52 X V53 X X V61 X X V70 X X V72 X X o /[NO]SCHEMA Specifies the repository metadata or types to be exported. This qualifier allows user extensions or other product-supplied extensions to the metadata to be exported. The default is /SCHEMA; however, if you are performing a major upgrade you cannot override the default. If you specify the /NOSCHEMA qualifier, no repository types (protocols) are exported. This means that no user or other product extensions to the metadata will be exported. The speeds up the export process, especially for small repositories. If you use the /SCHEMA qualifer (required when you specify /VERSION=V4), CDDX preallocates disk space of 2,000 blocks for VAX CDD/Plus Version 4.n and 10,000 blocks for Oracle CDD/Repository Version 5.0 and higher. If you use the /NOSCHEMA qualifier, it preallocates disk space of 150 blocks for VAX CDD/Plus Version 4.n and 750 blocks for Oracle CDD/Repository Version 5.0 and higher. You may require more disk space depending on the size of your repository. If you have many directories, or large directories, increase your paging file quota (PGFLQUOTA) to at least 80,000. You may also need to increase your enqueue quota limit (ENQLM) and channel counts. o /[NO]CONVERT You must use the /CONVERT qualifier when you are exporting pre-Version 4.3 dictionaries. When you specify /CONVERT, CDDX first converts the Version 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 dictionary to Version 4.3 before exporting it. The conversion will be committed, regardless of whether the export succeeds. A repository that cannot be converted will not be exported. The default is /NOCONVERT. If you specify the /CONVERT qualifier, the following informational message will be displayed when the conversion is completed and before the actual export operation starts: %CDDX-I-CVT_SUCCESS, repository device:[directory] converted 3 Parameters o repository The OpenVMS anchor of the repository to be exported. o export-filename The name of the export file to be created. The default file extension is CDDX. 2 IMPORT $ REPOSITORY IMPORT [/[NO]LOG] export-filename anchor The REPOSITORY IMPORT command of CDDX reloads the exported repository data from a repository export file into a new, empty repository. IMPORT assumes that the location you specify to import the export file into contains either an empty directory, or a directory with a new empty repository at the current version. If you specify an empty directory, IMPORT creates a new repository and imports your metadata into it. After importing the repository, reduce the size of the snapshot file by issuing the following command: $ REPOSITORY OPERATOR VERIFY/COMPRESS disk:[anchor-dir] 3 /[NO]LOG Produces a line of text for every element in the repository. Use the /LOG qualifier only when you suspect a problem, because a large repository produces a large amount of output. The only qualifier for REPOSITORY IMPORT is /[NO]LOG, which is optional. The default is /NOLOG. 3 export-filename Specifies the name of the exported file that you want to import. 3 anchor Specify the name of the anchor directory where the new repository will reside. The anchor must be the same OpenVMS anchor directory as the original dictionary).
