Today's the day for simple questions!
We have DIRMAINT, and I'm using it, but I'm relatively inexperienced
with it.
If DIRMAINT couldn't run for some reason and I had to make a change
(for example, at a DR site), is there any reason why I couldn't use
the USER BACKUP file on DIRMAINT's 1DB as source for the change, and
then use the DIRECTXA command? I know I'd have to do the following:
(1) I'd have to assure myself that the USER BACKUP is current.
DIRMAINT at a minimum does that just after midnight. You can do a DIRM
USER WITHPASS from MAINT or another DIRMAINT authorized userid at other
times.
(2) I'd have to make the change later using DIRMAINT, so that
DIRMAINT's up-to-date.
To do this:
1. with DIRMAINT down erase any USER DIRECT from DIRMAINT's 1DF.
2. with DIRMAINT down copy user source directory (cay USER WITHPASS) to
DIRMAINT's 1DF as USER INPUT.
3. Start DIRMAINT
