56.0. "ALL-IN-1 /NOINIT" by NCBOOT::HARRIS (oooppps) Wed Feb 19 1992 22:10

hi there!

i have the dubious task of writing a procedure (for a customer) that will:

	1. shutdown ALL-IN-1
	2. perform a DCL COPY/CONTIG of the OA$MAIN
	3. perform a DCL COPY/CONTIG of SITEOAFORM.FLB
	4. precompile the copied version of SITEOAFORM
	5. restart ALL-IN-1

there is not much documentation (of the stuff i have anyway) about /NOINIT.
are there any other commands or /qualifiers that need to be used with it?

i think i have the syntax for the COPY, but i need some hints on the 
precompiling.  do i just enter the menu options (sm-csz-pcf) and the
name of the FLB ?

	thanks - enquiring minds want to know

56.1An Odd request?SIOG::T_REDMONDThoughts of an Idle MindWed Feb 19 1992 23:3712
    Why would the customer want such a procedure?  I can see little to be
    gained by such actions, unless the disk or the files is so fragmented
    at the moment that performance is being impacted. Precompiling a newly
    copied version of SITEOAFORM, for example, will only create a new
    version of SITEOAFORM.FLC that may not be contiguous. Anyway, if you
    haven't made any changes to SITEOAFORM.FLB there is no real reason why
    you should precompile it again.
    
    So what's the customer's reasoning behid the request for this
    procedure? It all seems a little odd to me...

56.2Copy/Contig after the linkMSDSWS::DUNCANTo boldly go..Where no one daresWed Feb 19 1992 23:5310
    At some point in time they have linked the OA$MAIN image and them copy
    it, right?  So why not do a $COPY/CONTIG at that point and they can
    forget about it until they relink.
    
    I don't like to type so I put all the DCL commands that the Management
    Guide tells us to do into a Command file.  This way even the customers
    can do it. ;-)
