Activating Changes Made with a Format File

If you have made changes to a format file, you must generate a new class
definition statement (CDS) file that contains those changes.

Generating a New Class Definition Statement File for a TME
Adapter

To generate a new CDS file for a TME adapter, simply distribute a profile
containing the changed format file to the appropriate endpoints. The shipped
default profile contains the appropriate commands to automatically perform the
following actions:

1.

Stop the adapter.

2.

Generate a new CDS file from the distributed format file.

3.

Restart the adapter.

These commands can be viewed for the profile being distributed by selecting
Actions

in the Edit Adapter window of the ACF.

Generating a New Class Definition Statement File for a
Non-TME Adapter

To generate a new CDS file for a non-TME adapter, you must perform the
following tasks:

1.

Stop the adapter.

NetWare log file

See “TECADNW4.NLM” on page 61.

OS/2

See “Stopping the Adapter” on page 81.

UNIX log file

See “Stopping the Adapter” on page 102.

Windows event log

See “Stopping the Adapter” on page 120.

Windows NT event log

See “Stopping the Adapter” on page 135.

2.

Generate a new CDS file using the following commands. The logfile_gencds,
nw4gencds.nlm, os2gncds.exe

, and nt_gencds.exe programs are located in the

bin

subdirectory of the directory where you installed the adapter. The format

file is in the appropriate language subdirectory in the etc directory where you
installed the adapter (see “Format File Location” on page 145 for the
appropriate language subdirectory). Specify the appropriate path to create the
new CDS file in the etc directory.
OS/2

os2gncds /language/tecados2.fmt tecados2.cds

UNIX log file

logfile_gencds /language/tecad_logfile.fmt > tecad_logfile.cds
