FUP Command Guideline
If you type
FUP
without
command
, you must terminate the FUP process using the
EXIT
command after you finish your FUP activity.
FUP Command Guideline
If you enter conflicting options, FUP scans the options and uses the last one entered:
DUP A, B, OLD, NEW, SOURCEDATE, SAVEID
The FUP process uses the NEW option (not the OLD option) and the SAVEID option
(not the SOURCEDATE option). If you use related options (such as SAVEALL,
SAVEID, or SOURCEDATE), FUP uses the last option entered and cancels the
previous entry.
FUP Command Examples
To use a command file (ALLSUBS) with the IN run option and direct the results of
this activity (output) to the LIST1 disk file using the OUT run option:
TACL1> FUP / IN ALLSUBS, OUT LIST1 /
TACL2>
FUP reads the input from ALLSUBS, processes all of its commands, sends the
output to LIST1, and then returns to a new TACL prompt.
To start an interactive FUP process using the DUP command (with the PURGE
option) to purge the contents of FILE2 before duplicating the contents of FILE1 into
FILE2 (the two files in this example, FILE1 and FILE2, are from the default volume
and subvolume):
TACL1> FUP
-DUP FILE1, FILE2, PURGE
(FUP displays information about the process)
...
While the command is executing, FUP displays any information about the ongoing
process and then returns you to the FUP prompt (hyphen) when the process is
complete.
To avoid the interactive FUP process shown in the previous example for the DUP
command (and the PURGE option) at the TACL prompt, and purge FILE2 before it
duplicates the contents of FILE1 to FILE2:
TACL1> FUP DUP FILE1, FILE2, PURGE
(FUP displays information about the DUP operation)
...
TACL2>
After FUP displays information about the DUP operation, it returns to a new TACL
prompt when the process is complete.
