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

Batch file (SPsetup.bat)

Executing the batch file creates HiRDB system definition files automatically under %PDDIR%\conf.

Windows editor

HiRDB system definition files can be created under %PDDIR%\conf with a Windows editor such as Notepad 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 a Windows editor such as Notepad was used to create the HiRDB system definition).
