Configuring the Archive Build ID Option

When the database is backed up to the FTP server, the release number string of the file name that is created is either the software release number or the software build number. The archbldid value of the on or off parameters of the chg-stpopts command determines which number is used as the release number string.

• If the on=archbldid parameter is specified, the software build number is used as the release number string.
• If the off=archbldid parameter is specified, the software release number is used as the release number string.

The system default value for the archbldid parameter is off .

1. Display the value for the archbldid parameter by entering the rtrv-stpopts command.

   The value of the archbldid parameter is shown in the ARCHBLDID field. This is an example of the possible output.

   The rtrv-stpopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-stpopts command, see the rtrv-stpopts command description in Commands User's Guide.
2. Change the value of the archbldid parameter.

   To change the archbldid parameter to on, enter this command.

   To change the archbldid parameter to off, enter this command.

   chg-stpopts:off=archbldid

   When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-stpopts command.

   If the on=archbldid parameter was specified in 2, this is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 10-07-17 16:02:05 GMT  EAGLE5 42.0.0
   STP OPTIONS

4. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.
