ToolTalk User's Guide

Converting the System Database

A system CE database is the per-machine database. You will need to run the ttce2xdr script on each machine on which you have ToolTalk types. To determine whether there are any ToolTalk types in the system CE database, enter the following command on the command line:

tt_type_comp -Epd system

No output is generated if there are no ToolTalk types in the system CE database.

Note –

You must be logged in as root to run the ttce2xdr script for the system CE databases.

To run the ttce2xdr script for the system CE database, enter the following commands on the command line:

ttce2xdr [ -xnh ] -d  system

Table A–2 describes the options for the ttce2xdr script.

Table A–2 ttce2xdr Script Options


Option	Description
`-x`	Displays the underlying commands executed by `ttce2xdr`.
`-n`	Displays the underlying commands that `ttce2xdr` can execute.
`-h`	Describes the options for `ttce2xdr`.
