- SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
-
- The database can be expanded or created again by giving !MUMPS some
- parameters. The general syntax of !MUMPS is:
-
- !MUMPS MUMPS-info-file [-setdata n | -expand n ]
-
- Database creation and expansion will have to be done by hand. If the path to
- the directory where !MUMPS resides is called P, type at the RISC OS command
- line:
-
- <P>.!MUMPS.!RunImage <P>.!MUMPS.AMinfo -setdata x
-
- where x is the size of the database in Kbytes, to create a new database.
- This kills the old file IMMEDIATELY, be careful!
- When you've just created a database it is not possible to login in a normal
- way, because the MUMPS routine %SYSMAN (the system manager) does not exist
- yet. The way to get around this is to type:
-
- <P>.!MUMPS.!RunImage <P>.!MUMPS.AMinfo -I
-
- for immediate access to the MUMPS system (e.g. %SYSMAN is not started and
- you enter the system UCI "SYS" immediately). Now type a "?" and a list of
- 'previous' commands will be given. The first line of commands loads the
- "routine restore" routine from disk, select it by typing "!0". Adjust the
- filename using <Ctrl-K> and <Backspace> if necessary. Type <Return> when the
- filename and it's path are correctly entered. (The directory "MMP" resides
- within the !MUMPS application directory.) %RR will now be loaded into the
- computers RAM. Save %RR by typing ZS<Return>. Now you must load the other
- system routines from the file <P>.MMP.PROC/PRG (if you set the current
- directory to the directory that contains !MUMPS, you can leave out the
- "<P>."!). Type "D ^%RR" and "<P>.MMP.PROC/PRG" when asked for "Inputfile:".
- %RR will show you when the routines were saved and ask you if you want to
- restore them. Type a <Return>. The %routines will be restored. Next you must
- restore the system globals, using %GR. Type "D ^%GR" and specify just like
- before the file PROC/GBL. Confirm that you want to restore. The globals will
- be restored. Now you can savely type "ZH" and start !MUMPS in the normal way
- by double-clicking on it's icon.
-
- Expanding the database
-
- Type, at the RISC OS command line:
-
- <P>.!MUMPS.!RunImage <P>.!MUMPS.AMinfo -expand x
-
- where x is the number of Kbytes you want to expand the database with and
- <P> is the path that leads to the directory containing !MUMPS. Data is not
- lost, at least, when everything is ok! If you get errors during expansion,
- the database will be corrupt (map blocks will be lost). This means that
- enough free disk space must be available!
