3.1.1 - Set Dataset Information
Action Option -SD (-SetDataset) :
updates properties of an existing dataset record in GDEXDB — such as paths, file count limits, access flags, and data periods.
Available mode options:
allows any specialist to set GDEXDB information, regardless of dataset ownership |
|
skips trimming of spaces and comments from input values, speeding up input file processing |
|
resets the top group index for all Saved/Web file records |
|
re-gathers Web file content metadata at dataset level |
|
re-evaluates and resets file counts |
Dataset numbers are normally created via the Metadata Manager. Action -SD modifies the dataset record and any associated group data periods. Data periods for groups can be modified in dsarch, but must be created or removed through Metadata Manager.
The web file access location flag is set via -LC (-Location). The default is ‘G’ (Glade Disk) when any web data files exist. The default becomes ‘O’ if all web files reside on bOreas, or ‘C’ if all are at the CGD data path.
EXAMPLE 1. To set the UseDSARCH flag, reset file counts and data size, and set the beginning data date for dataset d744004:
