Updating the Macro Definition File
The macro definition file is a text file that should be uploaded using an ASCII transfer. Vital Signs users should perform the test at the end of these instructions after updating the macro file.
Download the macro definition file here.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the version appropriate for Visimage3 and AskPlus version E.8.3.3.
1. Transfer the file to UNIX:
- Transfer the samp macrodef file, using an ASCII transfer, to the /ASKPLUS/visimage directory.
- Using vi, verify that the file is a valid UNIX file. In vi, you should not see any ^M characters at the end of each line. If ^M characters appear at the end of each line, convert the file using the following commands.
- mv macrodef_e83.samp macrodef_e83.dos
- dos2ux <macrodef_e83.dos >macrodef_e83.samp
2. Backup the old definition file and copy the new one:
- Logon to HPUX as askplus
- cd /ASKPLUS/visimage
- mv macrodef macrodefv26
- cp macrodef_e83.samp macrodef (The downloaded macrodef file may have a different name.)
- chown askplus macrodef (Make sure the file is owned by askplus)
- chmod 644 macrodef
3. Rebuild the indexed macro file used by AskPlus and Visimage:
- While still logged in as askplus
- cd /ASKPLUS/visimage
- rm macro (if the purge fails, make sure the file is owned by askplus)
- /ASKPLUS/load_macros
- Note, Visimage users will need to restart server to see the new macro definitions.
To test that the new setup is valid, start server from Visimage or run a test job that uses AskPlus.
Vital Signs users should run the following test:
- Login as bolive
- /VSJOBS/JVSLOAD_MBRSHLN
- Once the job has started successfully and built at least one extract file successfully, kill the job, then clean up any created files as follows:
- cd /var/summit/spectrum/LIVE/vsdata/data/mbrshln (Check /ASKPLUS/vsdata/vitalsigns.ini for the correct path)
- ls (if the files are all extract files MBRFILECCYYMMDD, SHFILECCYYMMDD, etc - you are in the correct directory)
- rm * (Make sure you are in the correct location before issuing this command!)
- Once the job has started successfully and built at least one extract file successfully, kill the job, then clean up any created files as follows:
- Contact support if you are unsure about any of these steps.
