During system building, the HiRDB administrator uses one of the following methods to create HiRDB system definition files:

System generator (pdgen command)

Using the system generator to specify required items creates HiRDB system definition files automatically under $PDDIR/conf.

OS editor

HiRDB system definition files can be created under $PDDIR/conf with an OS editor and specification of required operands in the HiRDB system definitions.

For details about creating HiRDB system definition files, see the HiRDB Version 8 Installation and Design Guide. For details about the operands of the HiRDB system definitions, see the HiRDB Version 8 System Definition.

After creation of a HiRDB system definition

You can use the pdconfchk command to check the operands of a HiRDB system definition. This command checks the integrity of the specifications of the definition operands that are required to start HiRDB. We recommend that you execute the pdconfchk command after a HiRDB system definition is created (especially when an OS editor was used to create the HiRDB system definition).
