428.0. "EXPORTER and REPORTER. ??" by GSFMCC::SYSTEM () Mon Oct 22 1990 16:28

Greeting,

	I have been working to get the EXPORTER to work and it's seem to be
	running at this point, but I don't know how to verify it it's working
	correctly or NOT . Is there way which I can check to see if the
	EXPORTER is getting the data from the MIR and writing them into the
	RDB files. ???

Here is the snap shot of the files which generated after I start the EXPORTER,

SFDR1_DATA.RUJ;1                102  22-OCT-1990 14:40:41.08
GSFDR1_DATA.RDB;1                886  22-OCT-1990 14:40:29.58
GSFDR1_DATA.SNP;1                400  22-OCT-1990 14:40:34.70

	
	I guess that I can test the EXPORTER to see if it's working OK just by
        starting to use the REPORTER package. However, when I start to look into
	the REPORTER set-up, it's getting very tedious.....

	here are my question,

	1) Why the kit didn't include the installation of the REPORTS files so that
	people DON'T have to copy %&#@$! number of files manually. ??

	2) In the Release_Notes, step 3) stated that using the DMU ( what is it )
	 and how can one invoke it ?? whatr is the syntax to create a CDD
          dictionary to store the DTR records definitions,domains....

That's for now. Please help

428.1Installing ReportsTOOK::ANWARUDDINAnwarTue Oct 23 1990 10:4732
We will try to simplify the installation procedure for Reports. Steps 3
and 4 in the Release notes describe the procedure to create a dictionary
for Reports and to point to it. To create a dictionary you invoke DMU
as follows:

	$ MCR DMU
	DMU> CREATE CDD$TOP.name
	DMU> EXIT

Where `name' is the name you want to give to the dictionary. After you
have defined the dictionary, you define a logical(CDD$DEFAULT) as follows:

	$ DEFINE CDD$DEFAULT CDD$TOP.name

This is step 4. You can add this definition in the LOGIN.COM file.

Now you can execute step 5. Step 6 defines the data base for CDD.
This is done as follows:

	$DTR
	DTR> DEFINE DATABASE MCC_EXPORT disk:[directory]MCC_EXPORT.RDB;
	DTR>EXIT

The EXPORTER, by default, creates MCC_EXPORT.RDB in SYS$LOGIN. If you
had specified a specific directory for MCC_EXPORT.RDB on the EXPORT
directive, you should include the specification on the DEFINE DATABASE
command to DTR. This completes step 6.

After you complete step 7, REPORTS is installed and you are ready to 
run REPORTS. Please refer the IFT Update draft for "DECmcc Use" to
create reports.

    One simple way to check that the exporting is progressing, is to use the
    SHOW EXPORTING directive. There are counters that show the number of
    records exported, the number of failures, current timestamps and the
    failure reason if any.

Hi,

	I have found out that the EXPORTER is working from using SHOW_EXPORT
	commands. Thanks.
