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.
- Start the MET/TRACK Sample database. Start ISQL and log on as MT.
- 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;
- Now exit ISQL, and exit the sample database.
- Start the main database. Log on as MT using the ISQL.
- Delete the existing customization with the command:
delete mt.customiz;
- Read in the new customization with the command:
input into mt.customiz from cust.txt format ASCII;
- Exit ISQL.
- 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.
