:RUN SDUPGRAD.PUB.SYS
SDUPGRAD then displays the following banner:
HP System Dictionary SDUPGRAD HP32256v.uu.ff - (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1985
SDUPGRAD Prompts. SDUPGRAD first prompts to determine if a backup copy of the dictionary has
been stored on tape:
Has a backup for SYSDIC been made? (N/Y) >
If you reply "NO" to this prompt, SDUPGRAD will terminate.
NOTE Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that you back up your dictionary before run-
ning SDUPGRAD, as the program does not do a backup for you. It simply gives you
the opportunity to stop and back up your dictionary before upgrading it. If
SDUPGRAD fails, there may be no way to recover your dictionary except from a back-
up tape.
SDUPGRAD next prompts for the password of the Dic tionary Administrator scope:
DA scope password > (Password will not be echoed to the screen)
If you fail to supply the correct password after thr ee tries, SDUPGRAD will terminate. For security
reasons, SDUPGRAD does not echo the password to the list device. SDUPGRAD then prompts for the
desired store file medium:
Store file to tape or disc? (T/D) >
The store file is used f or temporary storage of the dictionary contents during the upgrade process. If you
enter "D" (disc) for the storage medium, SDUPGRAD will create an unnamed new file for the store file. If
you enter "T" (tape), SDUPGRAD will instruct you to mount a tape and reply at the console. SDUPGRAD
will issue a console request using the tape file name STORE.
If there is a shortage of disc space in the group, account, or system where the dictionary resides, you should
select "TAPE" for the store file.
Upgrade Operation. After you respond to the prompts, SDUPGRAD begins the upgrade operation. The
contents of your dictionary are unloaded to the store file on tape or disc, as you specified. Two messages
are displayed during the unloading operation:
System Dictionary Unloading Begins
System Dictionary Unloading Ends
Next, SDUPGRAD purges the dictionary database (SYSDIC) and creates a new one. The new database
will have expanded capacities to accommodate the new core set if upgrading a version A.00.00 dictionary.
SDUPGRAD invokes the TurboIMAGE utility DBSCHEMA, which displays these messages:
HP32215v.uu.ff
NUMBER OF ERROR MESSAGES: 0
ROOT FILE SYSDIC CREATED
SDUPGRAD then loads the contents of the store file into the expanded dictionary. Two messages are
displayed during the loading operation:
System Dictionary Loading Begins
System Dictionary Loading Ends
If upgrading a version A.00.00 dictionary, SDUPGRAD next adds the core set extensions listed in Table 1-
1 through Table 1-4. During the core set additions, these messages are displayed:
