Using the Database Utilities
>>MOVE
>>MOVE
Moves TurboIMAGE/XL files across devices within the same volume set.
Syntax
>>M[OVE] TurboIMAGE/XL file name TO device
For example:
MOVE ORDERS05 to DISC2
where ORDERS05 is the file name and DISC2 is a device .
Parameters
file name is a TurboIMAGE/XL root file, data set, or ILR file. Enter the file name
only; no group/account specification is allowed. The user must be the
creator of the file.
device is the class name of the MPE/iX device or the number of the logical device
to which the TurboIMAGE/XL file should be moved. The device must be a
member of the volume set on which the database resides.
Discussion
It is recommended that you store the database with the DBSTORE command prior to
executing a MOVE command. This precaution is advisable in the event a system failure
occurs during the move operation. When a move has been initialized, the process checks
the root file flag to determine if the database has been modified since the last backup copy
was made. The program prompts the user to continue or to terminate the MOVE command
and proceed with a DBSTORE of the database before moving TurboIMAGE/XL files to
another device. If the user responds NO to the continue prompt, the following message is
printed on the terminal:
MOVE operation stopped.
The following steps outline the process involved in moving TurboIMAGE/XL files from one
device to another. The move process does the following:
1. Retrieves information from the old file. Old indicates the file on the originally specified
device.
2. Checks the device specified by the user for validity and existence, and determines if
there is sufficient space for the new file. (New indicates the file being moved to another
device.)
