tnsxcom - Create the TS directory

With the tnsxcom command you can transfer files in the tnsxfrm format to TS directories. You can set different modes for functions such as the syntax check, update or recreating the TS directory.

The command has the following syntax (abbreviated):

tnsxcom [-l -s -S -u -i] [file]

The options have the following meanings:

-l	LOAD mode tnsxcom takes the entries from the file file one at a time and fills the (previously empty) TS directory with the syntactically correct entries.
-s	CHECK mode tnsxcom only applies the syntax check to the file file and records any possible syntax errors. The TS directory is not changed.
-S	CHECK-UPD mode Like for the -s option, the syntax check is run on the entire file file in the first run. If no syntax errors are found, then tnsxcom updates the TS directory in a second run.
-u	UPDATE mode tnsxcom takes the entries from the file file one at a time and merges the syntactically correct entries in the TS directory. Missing entries are created and existing entries are updated during this process.
-i	INTERACTIVE mode tnsxcom reads entries in the tnsxfrm format from stdin after it has indicated it is ready to receive input by outputting a prompt and merges them in the TS directory. Missing entries are created and existing entries are updated during this process.
file	The name of the file with the entries in the tnsxfrm format that are to be evaluated when the -l, -s, -S or -u options are specified. You can specify more than one file.

Examples

• The following call transfers the entries in the file input.dir to the current TS directory:

  tnsxcom -S input.dir

• You want to delete the $FJAM entry from the TS directory. For this to be possible, the input file upd.dir must contain the following entry:

  $FJAM DEL

  The call is as follows: tnsxcom -u upd.dir
