 Creating the Database Manager CLI  

The Database Manager CLI is created in the MaxDB development environment by processing information from a link description. This link description is a file of the lnk file type, and is called dbmcli.lnk ($OWN /sys/desc/dbmcli.lnk, see also General Directory Structure of the MySQL MaxDB Development Environment).

Processing this link description leads to the creation of an executable program. The file dbmcli.lnk also defines where the executable program is stored:

·        Microsoft Windows: The executable program is stored in the directory $OWN\usr\pgm.

·        UNIX: The line ->$INSTROOT /bin/dbmcli is inserted in the link description dbmcli.lnk. As a result, the executable program is stored in the directory $OWN/usr/bin.

Procedure

Enter the following command:

imf dbmcli

For information about the command imf, see ims.pl; imq.pl; imf.pl.

This command instructs the development environment to process the link description dbmcli.lnk .

The link description file does not have to be specified with its type ( lnk), since its name is unique. The development environment automatically determines the type of the link description file, and, therefore, the type of processing.

Result

The DBMCLI (Database Manager CLI) software component is created:

·        UNIX: $OWN/usr/bin/dbmcli

·        Microsoft Windows: $OWN\usr\pgm\dbmcli.exe

Perform a function check.
