Choose the Library menu item, which produces a submenu of the functions you can perform on DTM libraries. The submenu contains these items: o Open... o Verify... o Modify... o Create...
1 – l_lm_om
Choose the Open... menu item to establish an existing DTM library as the current library. The resulting dialog box enables you to enter the file specification and open a DTM library.
1.1 – l_oldb
Use the Open Library dialog box to choose an existing DTM library for use with DTM operations. The chosen library is the current library until you set another library or until you log out. This dialog box also enables you to verify that the DTM library is uncorrupted.
1.1.1 – l_oldb_lb
Use the Library field to enter the name of a OpenVMS directory that has been previously defined as a DTM library. The directory specification cannot be the current default directory, even if this directory is a valid DTM library.
1.1.2 – l_oldb_vr
Click on the Verify button in one of the following ways: Enabled DTM is to verify that the chosen library is button intact when opened. Disabled DTM is not to verify that the chosen library button is intact when opened.
1.1.3 – l_oldb_ok
Click on the OK button to apply the current settings in the dialog box and remove the dialog box. The border on this button indicates that it is the default choice. You can choose it by pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.
1.1.4 – l_oldb_cn
Click on the Cancel button to remove the dialog box without applying any of the settings to the selection.
2 – l_lm_vm
Choose the Verify... menu item to have DTM confirm that the library's structure and files are in a valid form. You can also use the resulting dialog box to correct any errors that DTM may find or to reclaim loose blocks and delete illegal files found in the library.
2.1 – l_vldb
The Verify Library dialog box enables you to choose operations that detect errors in the library structure, files, and collections. The DTM library can become invalid if a process or job aborts, or the system fails while a command that changes the library is executing. You can also use this dialog box to correct the errors that DTM may find or to reclaim loose blocks and delete illegal files found in the library.
2.1.1 – l_vldb_rk
Use the Remark field to optionally enter text that becomes associated with the current operation. The text is logged in the history file of the DTM library. You can selectively display and delete history entries.
2.1.2 – l_vldb_in
Click on the Inspect button to evaluate the current DTM library structure and files. If the library is valid, the operation executes successfully. Otherwise, DTM informs you to use the Recover operation to attempt library repairs.
2.1.3 – l_vldb_rr
Click on the Recover button to correct library errors found by DTM in an Inspect operation. If the Recover operation does not return the library to a valid state, restore the library from a backup tape.
2.1.4 – l_vldb_rp
Click on the Repair button to have DTM reclaim loose blocks and delete illegal files in the current library.
2.1.5 – l_vldb_ok
Click on the OK button to apply the current settings in the dialog box and remove the dialog box. The border on this button indicates that it is the default choice. You can choose it by pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.
2.1.6 – l_vldb_cn
Click on the Cancel button to remove the dialog box without applying any of the settings to the selection.
3 – l_lm_mm
Choose the Modify menu item to display or modify the current library attributes of the following: o Benchmark directory o Template directory o Default collection prologue o Default collection epilogue
3.1 – l_mldb
Use the Modify Library dialog box to display or modify the current library attributes.
3.1.1 – l_mldb_rk
Use the Remark field to optionally enter text that becomes associated with the current operation. The text is logged in the history file of the DTM library. You can selectively display and delete history entries.
3.1.2 – l_mldb_m
Click on the following modify buttons to change the corresponding settings in the library: o Benchmark directory o Template directory o Prologue o Epilogue DTM displays any current settings in the four fields.
3.1.3 – l_mldb_bk
DTM stores benchmark files in the DTM library. Click on the Benchmark directory button to specify another directory (for example, a Code Management System library) into which DTM can place the benchmark files. To change the benchmark directory, first click on the Benchmark directory button. Then replace the current directory name in the field with the new directory name. An empty field with an enabled button indicates that you want to clear any library default directory that you previously specified.
3.1.4 – l_mldb_tp
DTM stores template files in the current default directory. Click on the Template directory button to specify another directory (for example, a Code Management System library) into which DTM can place the template files. To change the template directory, first click on the Template directory button. Then replace the current directory name in the field with the new directory name. An empty field with an enabled button indicates that you want to clear any library default directory that you previously specified.
3.1.5 – l_mldb_pg
Click on the Prologue button to create a default collection prologue file. All subsequently created collections will invoke this file whenever DTM executes them, unless you explicitly specify a different collection prologue when you create the collection. To change the default prologue file, first click on the Prologue button. Then replace the current prologue name in the field with the new prologue name. An empty field with an enabled button indicates that you want to cancel any default collection prologue that you previously specified.
3.1.6 – l_mldb_eg
Click on the Epilogue button to create a default collection epilogue file. All subsequently created collections will invoke this file whenever DTM executes the collections, unless you explicitly specify a different collection epilogue when you create the collection. To change the default epilogue file, first click on the Epilogue button. Then replace the current epilogue name in the field with the new epilogue name. An empty field with an enabled button indicates that you want to cancel any default collection epilogue that you previously specified.
3.1.7 – l_mldb_ok
Click on the OK button to apply the current settings in the dialog box and remove the dialog box. The border on this button indicates that it is the default choice. You can also choose the default by pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.
3.1.8 – l_mldb_cn
Click on the Cancel button to remove the dialog box without applying any of the settings to the selection.
4 – l_lm_cm
Choose the Create... menu item to create a DTM library. The newly created library automatically becomes the referenced library for any DTM operations.
4.1 – l_cldb
Use the Create Library dialog box to create a DTM library and set the library attributes. You can specify the following library attributes: o Benchmark directory o Template directory o Default collection prologue o Default collection epilogue
4.1.1 – l_cldb_lb
Use the library field to enter the name of an empty directory that you created with the DCL CREATE command with the /DIRECTORY qualifier or, with the DECwindows FileView Utility menu. The directory specification must follow OpenVMS specifications for directory names. Do not specify the current default directory or a directory that contains files.
4.1.2 – l_cldb_rk
Use the Remark field to optionally enter text that becomes associated with the current operation. The text is logged in the history file of the DTM library. You can selectively display and delete history entries.
4.1.3 – l_cldb_bk
To specify a benchmark directory, specify the directory name in the benchmark directory field. DTM stores benchmark files in a DTM library. Use the Benchmark directory field to specify another directory (for example, a Code Management System library) into which DTM can place the benchmark files.
4.1.4 – l_cldb_tp
DTM stores template files in the current default directory. Use the Template directory field to specify another directory (for example, a Code Management System library) into which DTM can place the template files. To specify a template directory, enter the directory name in the template directory field.
4.1.5 – l_cldb_pg
Use the Prologue field to specify a default collection prologue file. All subsequently created collections will invoke this file whenever DTM executes the collections, unless you explicitly specify a different collection prologue.
4.1.6 – l_cldb_eg
Use the Epilogue field to specify a default collection epilogue file. All subsequently created collections will invoke this file whenever DTM executes the collections, unless you explicitly specify a different collection epilogue.
4.1.7 – l_cldb_ok
