Transferring Customization From the Sample Data Base to the Main Data Base

This application note uses MET/TRACK version 4.X in the examples. However, the same procedures apply if you have MET/TRACK version 4.2 or MET/CAL Plus version 5.0.

You may find that the customization provided with the MET/TRACK® Sample data base that is shipped with the V4.X software is what you want or is very close to what you want in your main MET/TRACK data base. The customization can be copied to this data base by using the following ISQL commands. These steps must be followed exactly.

  1. Start the MET/TRACK Sample database. Start ISQL and log on as MT.
  2. Extract the customization to a file. The trick here is typing BOTH lines shown below into the ISQL Command window BEFORE executing the commands. The ; acts as a line continuation character so that both commands are executed together. Enter the following lines into ISQL then click on execute.

    select * from mt.customiz;
    output to cust.txt format ASCII;
  3. Now exit ISQL, and exit the sample database.
  4. Start the main database. Log on as MT using the ISQL.
  5. Delete the existing customization with the command:

    delete mt.customiz;
  6. Read in the new customization with the command:

    input into mt.customiz from cust.txt format ASCII;
  7. Exit ISQL.
  8. Start the MET/TRACK Configuration Tool and modify the customization as necessary.

This technique can be used to transport the configuration from one MET/TRACK data base to another, for example at another site or a new data base at the same site. Just substitute the name of the source data base for the MET/TRACK sample in the above example.
