<Contents specified in the synonym list definition file>
```

Creating a dictionary creation file

<Contents specified in the dictionary creation file>
```
Dictionary2,/home/adbmanager/dictionary2_synonym.txt,CORRECTIONRULE,synonym of HADB↓
```
Legend: ↓: Line feed

This example assumes that the created dictionary creation file is saved with the following file name:
- /home/adbmanager/dictionary2_information.txt
Check the free space of the directory for storing the synonym dictionary file.

For details about how to check the free space, see 11.16.12 Checking the free space required for the directory for storing synonym dictionary files.
Execute the adbsyndict command to register a synonym dictionary.
```
adbsyndict -m /home/adbmanager/dictionary2_information.txt
```
For the -m option, specify the name of the absolute path to the dictionary creation file that you created in step 2.
Make a backup of the directory for storing synonym dictionary files.

If you register a synonym dictionary, synonym dictionary files are added. In case a failure occurs in a synonym dictionary file, make a backup of the directory for storing synonym dictionary files. If a failure occurs in a synonym dictionary file when you have not made a backup, you need to re-create the synonym dictionary file by using the adbsyndict command.

The directory for storing synonym dictionary files is the directory specified for the adb_syndict_storage_path operand in the server definition.

Note

For details about the specification rules for a synonym list definition file, see 11.16.15 Specification rules for a synonym list definition file.
For details about the specification rules for a dictionary creation file, see 11.16.16 Specification rules for a dictionary creation file.
When registration of a synonym dictionary is completed in step 4, the KFAA51509-I message is output. (As many messages as the synonym dictionaries for which registration is completed are output.) Identify the synonym dictionary name in the message, and confirm that registration of the synonym dictionary is completed.
