Extracting a Database for Multiple Users

To simultaneously extract a database for multiple users, you create a text file that includes a list of the User IDs of the users. You then reference that text file in the Client Name parameter of the database extract.

In this example, assume you must perform a database extract for the following users: AMARTIN, CCHENG, PSINGH and RMARLOW. To create a database extract for multiple users at the same time, you must create a text file that contains the user IDs of these users.

To extract a database for multiple users

1. Create a text file named clientlist.txt that contains the user IDs of the following new users:
   • AMARTIN
   • CCHENG
   • PSINGH
   • RMARLOW

     The text file must contain the user ID for each user. To separate each user ID in this file, you can use a space, comma, semicolon, new line, or tab.

2. Do the procedure that starts with Extracting the Server Database.

   In Step 8, enter the following:

   @\\server\clientlist.txt"

   where:

   • \\server\clientlist.txt is the path to the text file you created in Step 1.
3. To view the new subdirectories for AMARTIN, CCHENG, PSINGH, and RMARLOW, examine the c:\sea14010\siebsrvr\docking directory.
4. To confirm successful extraction, determine if compressed files exist in the outbox subdirectory for each new directory that you examined in Step 3.
5. If you are using more than one list, then start another instance of Database Extract.

   Make sure you specify a different value for the TS Table Number parameter.
