Note 5474 addresses the ability of copying dictionaries from a
"developmental" system to a production system (neat!) If MIBs are
loaded on the developmental system and help files created, do/can they
be moved over as well? Any difficulties or gotchas?
Thanks in advance.

| 6001.1 | No magic here | SCCA::dave | Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality. | Mon May 23 1994 14:57 | 15 |
There is no magic, except for the MIR and dictionary files. If these files have had lots of adds/deletes (or deletes/adds) done, they will tend to have holes in them, and start to be fragmented. When they are simply copied (on ultrix), the holes will be filed, and the files will use more disk space, but not be larger. In the general case, there are few problems. If you waste a percent or two space, it is not a big deal. Also, you dont have to copy the files to/from another systems at all. Simply do the updates in another directory tree on a copy of the dictionarys and help files, and simply rename the files back when you are done. The rename can be done in seconds, and the system only needs to be restared to make use of the files. | |||||
| 6001.2 | which files??? | DV780::SMITHG | Thu May 26 1994 19:43 | 8 | |
From .1, it sounds like there is no problem in also moving over the
help files to the production system as well - thanks for the info.
(The systems are VAXes by the way).
Do you know what the specific help files are that need to be moved in
addition to the MCC_FDICTIONARY files?

| 6001.3 | hlb files to copy | MSBCS::CALLANDER | Wed Jun 01 1994 14:34 | 9 | |
you will only need to move:
sys$help:mcc*.hlb
Of these only the mcc_charcter_cell_help.hlb and
mcc_decwindows_help.hlb files are actually modified as part of the
installation procedures when adding a new set of modules.
