Step 3: How to Populate the Database

The populate.sh script is provided to put records into the database so you can run bankapp and test its functionality. populate is a one line script that pipes records from a program called gendata to the system server, ud. The gendata program creates records for 10 branches, 30 tellers, and 200 accounts. A record of the files created is kept in pop.out, so you can use values in the database when forming your sample service requests.

To run the script, enter populate.

Note: The output file that was created by the populate script, pop.out, can be used to provide account numbers, branch IDs, and other fields you can specify, so your service requests produce some output.
