4 BULDACCT
The BULDACCT utility lets users with SM capability take a
snapshot
of the directory
structure on a
source
system running MPE/iX and recreate it on a different
destination
system. It is especially useful for creating a directory structure on a system without a tape
drive where the ;DIRECTORY option of the RESTORE command cannot be used.
BULDACCT also lets you
migrate
a set of accounts from one volume set to another. This is
useful with mirror disks, since they do not allow the system volume set to be mirrored, and
it may have accounts that you need moved to a different volume set.
BULDACCT has been enhanced to support the hierarchical file system of MPE/iX. As the
default, BULDACCT automatically saves all accounts, groups, users, hierarchical directories
and the ACDs associated with the directories. However, if BULDACCT detects that the
operating system does not support POSIX, it does not look for any hierarchical directories.
In addition, three new options have been added to BULDACCT: %NODIRS%, %ROOT% and
%NOROOT%. These options let you control the migration of root and non-root hierarchical
directories when using BULDACCT. Each option is explained in the "Operation" section.
