Interface Configuration and Installation
In addition to this manual, additional information concerning PDBI installation, configuration and
integration with the network operator's information system is provided in the EPAP Administration
Manual.
File Formats
All file formats described in this section are text files.
The EPAP menu items for importing files to the PDB and exporting files from the PDB are described
in the PDBA menu section of the EPAP Administration Manual.
Debug Log
The debug log format varies from process to process. Most entries contain a timestamp followed by
a description of the logged event and some relevant data.
The EPAP menu for viewing the PDBA debug log is described in the PDBA menu section of the EPAP
Administration Manual.
Import/Export Files
The Import and Export files use the PDBI create command format (see Create Subscription and
Create Network Entity ). A carriage return separates each command in the file.
Import File
To achieve faster loading rates, large numbers of PDBI commands can be placed together in a file and
loaded into the PDB through the Import option on the EPAP user interface. (For more information,
refer to the EPAP Administration Manual.) The format of the commands in the file is exactly the same
as the PDBI commands specified in this document.
rtrv_sub([iid XXXXX,] dn XXXXX, [data <all/neonly>]
CAUTION: Do not use tabs instead of spaces in the commands. Using tabs causes the
command and replication to the standby PDB to fail.
The valid import file commands are:
•
ent_sub
•
upd_sub
•
dlt_sub
•
ent_entity
•
upd_entity
•
dlt_entity
•
ent_eir
