The DEFINES menu is supported for compatibility reasons only (if ROBAR rule files from an earlier ROBAR version are to be used).
The DEFINES menu allows you to branch to the menu for managing the ROBAR rule files for the ROBAR-SV instance selected in the INSTANCES menu. These files contain default values. You can change them at your own discretion to meet any special requirements your data center might have. For a detailed description, see the chapter "ROBAR rule files".
DEFINES provides the following parameters for managing the ROBAR rule files:
ERRDEF
Edit error_defines file.
With this parameter you can edit the error_defines file using the default editor. This file contains the measures to be taken if serious errors occur.
EXIT
Returns you to the main menu.
MESS
Edit message_file.
All messages requiring a response from the ROBAR system are stored in message_file. Using the MESS parameter, you can add new messages or modify or delete existing ones using the default editor. You must write the message texts in uppercase letters.
PUBLISH
Checks and activates ROBAR rule files.
This call first of all performs a consistency check on the various RRF sets of the selected ROBAR-SV instance using the check_rrf command. Error messages or warnings are output in the status line. When the check is successful (errorfree or only warning), the publish_rrf command is then executed.
RESP
Edit message_resp file.
All BS2000 actions which are initiated by ROBAR are stored in the message_resp file in the form of keywords. The RESP parameter allows you to edit this file using the default editor. You can enter, for example, actions such as responses to BS2000 messages or display message texts on the console.
ROBCMDS
Edit roboter_cmds file.
All archive system commands are stored together with their operands in the roboter_cmds file. The ROBCMDS parameter allows you to edit this file using the default editor. In this file, you may change only the identifier for device allocation and for output in the MANUAL menu.
SHOW
Display the actions for a particular message from message_file.
This parameter is used to display the BS2000 or archive system messages stored for a specific action code defined in message_file. You are asked to enter a five-position action code from message_file (MFxxx). Where multi ROBAR rule files are supported, only the main directory is displayed. The subdirectories for device-specific messages are not displayed.
