Changing the database name when converting a simple database to HALDB

When converting a database to HALDB, you can choose to change the database name. However, if you do, you will be creating extra work for yourself because you will also have to change all of your PCBs to conform to the new name. You should continue to use the same database name.

To change the name of a database when you convert the database to HALDB, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Create a RECON list before deleting the records for the database. The old information is retained in RECON as long as necessary.
  2. Unload the old database.
  3. Remove the DBD from DBDLIB and ACBLIB.
  4. Delete all MDA members that refer to the old database.
  5. Perform a DBDGEN on the old database name as a logical database with the source being the new HALDB database.
  6. Define the HALDB database by using DBDGEN, ACBGEN, and either the HALDB Partition Definition utility or the DBRC commands INIT.DB and INIT.PART.
