Introducing BULDACCT Utility by Anil Sharma Commercial Systems Division The BULDACCT utility has been designed to help users in moving their directory structures across volume sets or systems. PRODUCT OVERVIEW BULDACCT.PUB.SYS is designed to allow MPE XL users to take a "snapshot" of their directory accounting structure and recreate it on a new system. The output files of this utility are job streams that can regenerate the directory structure on a tapeless environment where ":restore ;;directory" cannot be used. This utility also includes functionality to migrate a set of accounts from one volume set to another. This account migration capability can be extremely useful with the Mirrored Disk (HP30349A) product since the Mirror Disk product does not allow the system volume set to be mirrored, resulting in a need to migrate certain accounts from the system volume set to a user volume set. PRODUCT ENVIRONMENT The BULDACCT utility will execute only on the MPE XL releases while the job files created by this utility can be used on either MPE V/E or MPE XL USER INTERFACE The tasks of dumping system directory accounting structures or migration of a set of accounts from one volume set to another, can be accomplished by a sequence of CI commands. The BULDACCT utility creates two job scripts, which contain formatted account, group, user and UDC accounting information. The utility provides a number of options to tailor the directory migration according to the user needs. These options allow the user to selectively choose a list of accounts and set the level of migration to group or account level. A simple ":run buldacct" displays a list of options with brief explanations. Detailed help text can be seen by selecting the help option.
