When changes to a table require reconfiguration with export/import what session is available in BaanVc to handle it? I'd have expected a check box on the Create Runtime DD session. Does it need to be done with the bdbreconfig.exe?

Thanks.

Use Convert to runtime DD - Not Create runtime DD.

it will export/import if necessary or issue alters if necessary (depending on your version)

Dave ... thanks for the reply. As it happened we had a refresh of our dev/test this past weekend which wiped the table out. I had exported the table so after importing on Monday the table needed both sessions like a brand new table.

Hello everyone,

I'm importing a table change that we have in our production server already. I added a field and an index to it in our test server. Once we import the patch thourght session ttiex1284m000. Shall I Convert DD or Create DD for the table?

Thanks in advance,

ttadv5210m000 - create runtime dd (for that table only ) if not reconfig flag is set in ttadv501/2 for the table else ttadv5215m000 will suffice . According to me import does not set any flag in ttadv501/2 for reconfig.

I did ttadv5215m000 but I had to do a kind of a little change on the table definition and undo it to make it work. (I think to set a flag)

Thanks,

Just to clarify some things:
1. After you changed a table definition with ttadv4[15]m000 or one of the child sessions (for fields, indexes) a conversion indicator is written. Then "convert to runtime" is sufficient.
2. Import (ttiex128[45]m000) does not write conversion indicators. So when you imported a table definition, you need a "create runtime".
3. Installation of a PMC dump with table definitions does write conversion indicators, so then a "convert to runtime" is sufficient. PMC reports that as a post-installation instruction.

Be careful to run convert or create for that table only
Assume you have a new table that has a reference to an existing table. For that existing table the runtime dd-file has to be recreated as well!
