Working with the MaxDB Development Hierarchy
If you want to modify files, use the icp.pl tool to copy them from the MaxDB_ORGdirectory to the MaxDB_DEVdirectory in the development hierarchy.
The MaxDB_ORG directory is located under the following path: C:\OWN\MaxDB_ORG
The MaxDB_DEV directory is located under the following path: C:\OWN\MaxDB_DEV
In this case, the environment variable $VMAKE_PATH must contain the following entry:
VMAKE_PATH= C:\OWN\MaxDB_DEV,C:\OWN\MaxDB_ORG
OWN must always be changed to the name of the release used.
In a MAKE operation, MaxDB_DEV would now be searched for a module or description file. VMAKE only searches the next level if it cannot find the file here.
If a path in the VMAKE_PATH does not end with two slashes, it is also searched for current object files in the wrk directory. The files are copied if they match the current development status. The relevant module files do not need to be translated.
You can use the idiff.pl tool to compare the modified and original module or description files.
The iview.pl tool enables you to display a module or description file.
