4.4.2 Creating synchronization point dump files

The HiRDB administrator executes the pdloginit command to create synchronization point dump files in a HiRDB file system area.

Example
Create a synchronization point dump file (b1sync01) in a HiRDB file system area (C:\sysarea01):

pdloginit -d spd -s b001 -f C:\sysarea01\sync01 -n 64

Explanation:
-d spd: Specifies that this is a synchronization point dump file.
-s: Specifies the name of the server corresponding to this synchronization point dump file.
This specification is not necessary for a HiRDB/Single Server.
-f: Specifies a name for this synchronization point dump file.
Enter the name that was specified with the pdlogadpf -d spd server definition operand in the HiRDB system definitions.
-n: Specifies the number of records for this synchronization point dump file.
The size of one synchronization point dump file equals 4,096 times the record length (bytes).

After the command has executed, the execution results should be checked for errors. For details about how to check command execution results, see the manual HiRDB Version 9 Command Reference.

Relationship with HiRDB system definitions
This pdloginit command is associated with the following server definition operands in the HiRDB system definitions:
  • pdlogadfg -d spd
  • pdlogadpf -d spd
You need to define the synchronization point dump file created using these operands.
