DEPOT maintenance

EXPORT function - Overview

The export function is used for depot maintenance. Products, text levels and the loader definitions for system loaders, loader modifications and OPT-REP settings can be deleted from the depot in use. The data to be deleted (except text levels) is always written to a backup depot which is regenerated for every export function. Special backup depots can be created without deleting in the original depot.

Output file name of the backup depot: RMS.DEPOT.yymmdd.hhmmss

This backup depot can be

• processed as a normal depot with RMS

• used as an input depot for the IMPORT function

Output file name of text levels: RMS.TEXTLEVEL.name

This file can be accepted only with the RMS function “Input”.

IMPORT function - Overview

The IMPORT function can be used to accept components (products, system loader definitions, loader modifications and OPT-REP settings) into the open depot from another depot. Only components which are not yet in the open depot can be accepted.

It is not possible to import text levels.

Operation

The desired operations are selected by marking the individual fields. Follow-up screens enable you to make a selection within an existing supply component.

The IMPORT function is only activated by entering a depot file name.

 

Description of selectable fields

Products

The products selected on the follow-up screen are imported or exported along with their associated notebook entries and deliveries.
This option enables you to delete a product which is no longer required.

System loaders

The system loader definitions selected on the follow-up screens are exported or imported along with their associated loader modifications, OPT-REP settings and software configuration

Loader modification

The loader modifications selected on the follow-up screen are imported or exported.

OPT-REP setting

The OPT-REP settings selected on the follow-up screen are imported or exported

Text level

The text levels selected on the follow-up screen are output as SAM files with the name RMS.TEXTLEVEL.name if <name> is the name of the text level.

It is not possible to import text levels.

Delete

Components should be deleted after export; RMS checks for any dependencies on the system loader definitions and outputs any it finds on the screen. The option enables you to decide whether or not deletion is to be carried out. At this point, the backup depot has already been created.

F1	All selections are deleted.
DUE	None of the selections are deleted.

The contents of the screen can be output to SYSLST by overwriting the “?” field with a character which is not a blank and sending it off with the DUE key.
