Commands (YCLRMDL - YDLTOBJTBL) › YCVTDSTFIL (Convert Distributed Files) Command › Notes

Notes

• Distributed files are those files which have been flagged with Distributed = Y on the Edit File Details panel in the model.
• Entries for all access paths for distributed files are placed in a file Y2DSTFP. If Y2DSTFP does not already exist in the library specified by the GENLIB parameter, it will be created.
• An entry will also be added to the associated configuration file Y2CFGTP for each access path. If Y2CFGTP does not already exist in the library specified by the GENLIB parameter, it will be created.
• Any existing records in Y2CFGTP will be preserved only if the associated access path still exists in Y2DSTFP. Otherwise they will be deleted.
• The editor for the configuration file used by YWRKDSTFIL is shipped as an application defined in the model under the files *Configuration Table and *Distributed File. You must generate this application using the design and generator options you choose before you can use YWRKDSTFIL.
• The distributed file entries converted are displayed to the user when the YWRKDSTFIL command is executed.

For more information on working with distributed files and the configuration table, refer to the YWRKDSTFIL command.
