Results of the new database creation
The use of this procedure creates the structure to store the new database in the folder bases.
The folders that are created in this process are the following :
Under each of these folders, excluding folders data and cnv, sub-folders are created for as many languages as are enabled. The list of languages can be obtained from the file lang.tab located in the folder bases.
In addition, a file dbn.par is created in the folder bases/par which updates the file bases.dat adding to the database already created.
Once the creation process is finalised, the operators of the new database must be assigned, because otherwise only the System Administrator will be able to interact with the database
In order to update the database an ISO file must be created to import the data into the new structure.
If the file comes from WinIsis or IsisDos, you will have to convert the ASCII character set to ANSI. This task can be completed easily using the MX library functions of CISIS.
To do this, run the MX in a DOS window from the folder where it is located in the database, and convert it using the following command line:
mx dbn iso=dbn.iso convert=ansi -all now tell=100
The ISO file obtained must be uploaded to the data folder of the database created through this process. To incorporate the records use the program MX, using the following command line:
mx iso=dbn.iso create=dbn -all now tell=100.
After creating the database, run MX again to generate the inverted file, using the following command line:
mx dbn fst=@dbn.fst uctab=ansi actab=ansi fullinv=dbn -all now tell=100
Note: The mx commands are provided as a guide. For further information consult the reference manual in the CISIS library .
If the number of records you are importing is not very large (e.g. less than 2000 records) use the option Utilities on the toolbar of the procedure Data Entry to import records and generate the inverted list.
As the time assigned by the web server to each process varies with each installation, the number of records mentioned here may vary, it is recommended, however, to use MX as far as possible for these purposes
