The MODIFY LIBRARY command establishes or removes the connection between the current CMS library and a reference copy directory. The reference copy directory cannot be a CMS library. This command does not add files to or delete any files from a reference copy directory. Once you establish a reference copy directory for a library, subsequent transactions that create new element generations on the main line of descent also update the reference copy directory (provided the element is set to /REFERENCE_COPY). You must use the MODIFY ELEMENT/NOREFERENCE_COPY command on the elements in the library before you can use the MODIFY LIBRARY/NOREFERENCE_COPY command. If you specify MODIFY LIBRARY/REFERENCE_COPY and the reference copy directory is already set, CMS first verifies all the files found in that directory. The contents of the directory must exactly correspond with the elements that have /REFERENCE_COPY set in the CMS library. If elements are set with /NOREFERENCE_ COPY and there are existing reference copies for those elements, CMS advises you to use VERIFY/REPAIR. No further operations are allowed until the reference copies have been repaired. Use the SHOW LIBRARY command to display library characteristics.
