Moving TEs Between Local and Remote

To move a target environment from one machine to another, do not run Export to Remote Translation Site—this is only for updating existing remote sites.

Do the following:

  1. At the development site, amend the CPU number and authorization code details for the target environment entry.
  2. Copy the target environments file (trtenvp) from the development machine to the affected remote machines.
  3. On the host machine, copy the entries for that target environment from the dictionary files in trndtalib (listed in Upgrading from Translator 5.0, with the exception of ymbrlst) to trnexplib.

    Use cpyf, restricted on Tgt Env code (xxtenv, where xx is the individual file prefix). Clear the target files first, if present.

  4. If setting up a remote environment on a machine previously without Translator, you must copy the org entries along with the target entries for each dictionary.
  5. Check the copies are successful, back up trndtalib, then delete the copied orphan entries from the dictionary files in trndtalib using SQL.

    Note: It is not absolutely necessary to delete these orphan entries if SQL or a similar tool is not available.

  6. Move the target environment library and trnexplib from the host machine to the target machine.

    Delete any previous copies of these libraries on the target machine beforehand.

  7. Copy the dictionary file entries from trnexplib to the dictionary files in trndtalib on the target machine.
  8. Test and back up.
