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

Simple setup tool

For details about how to create HiRDB system definition files with the simple setup tool, see the HiRDB Version 9 Installation and Design Guide.

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.

Batch file (SPsetup.bat) (Windows edition only)

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

For details about creating HiRDB system definition files, see the HiRDB Version 9 Installation and Design Guide. For details about the operands of the HiRDB system definitions, see the manual HiRDB Version 9 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).
