AS4FIXFILE documentation

[Former Member]

Is there any documentation for the AS4FIXFILE command?

There is no help text at the OS level on our kernel (6.20--yes, I know it's no longer supported).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

AS4FIXFILE has no official documentation, because it should not be needed in "normal" situations. Whenever it is needed in special situations, the recommended parameters are documented in the SAP Note that describes the special situation.

Anyway, here is some short description of the parameters and their meaning:

Name of the database library (DBLIB):

Input parameter, usually R3<sid>DATA.

Change object owner (CHGOWN):

If set to *YES, then an additional parameter "New owner" (NEWOWN) becomes visible, and all files int he database library get their owner changed to the new owner.

End journaling (ENDJRN):

If set to *YES, ENDJRNPF will be issued for all physical files (tables) in the database library.

Start journaling (STRJRN):

If set to YES, STRJRNPF will be issued for all physical files (tables) in the database library. The journal is QSQJRN in the database library, and parameters OMTJRNE(OPNCLO) IMAGES(*BOTH) are specified.

Change file attributes (CHGFILE):

If set to YES, the parameters WAITFILE and WAITRCD are set to 120 seconds for all files in the database library. For phyiscal files (tables), also REUSEDLT(YES) is specified.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

AS4FIXFILE DBLIB(R3<SID>DATA) CHGOWN(NO) ENDJRN(YES)
