Reads each stanza from the input stanza file and writes an odmdelete command, with appropriate parameters, to standard output.
mkodmextract -d ObjectClassDB -f StanzaFile
The mkodmextract command is invoked by the mkodmupdt command in the 4.1 build environment. For each stanza in the input stanza file, it reads the object classdatabase file, extracts the keys associated with the object descriptor, and writes an odmdelete command with appropriate parameters to standard output. The command also verifies the object class, keys, and fields from the stanza file.
-d ObjectClassDB | Specifies the database file containing object class descriptors, keys, and fields. |
-f StanzaFile | Specifies the stanza file that is being processed, for example .add. |
If a fatal error is detected, processing is terminated and mkodmextract exits with a non-zero return code. Possible errors include:
object description (.add) file | This file contains one or more object class definitions in stanza format.
The format of a stanza is:
object_class_name: key = value ... attribute = value ... |
object class database file | This is the internal database file the mkodmupdt
command uses to verify the object classes from the stanza files and generate
the appropriate odm commands for the output odm scripts. This database file
contains one entry for each object class where the entries are described as
follows:
object class:List of keys:list of fields including keys The list of keys is separated by %. The keys are the set of fields whose combination of values can uniquely identify a stanza. The list of fields is comma separated. Example: GAI:Adapter_Id%Module_Key%Module_Path:Adapter_Id,Module_Key,Module_Path To indicate that an object class cannot be updated, use the following syntax in the object class database file: CDiagDev:99 |
The mkodmextract command writes the odmdelete commands to stdout. The mkodmupdt command redirects the output of mkodmextract into the option*.odmdel and the option*.unodmadd scripts.
The mkodmupdt command, odmdelete command.
