Chapter 1 Introduction SDINIT Overview The System Dictionary initialization utility is a program which is included in the product, and which must be run before System Dictionary can be used. The initialization process, which creates and defines the dictionary (actually a database) is accomplished by the System Dictionary initialization program, SDINIT. This program sets the capacities of the dictionary, creates a new dictionary database, and initializes it with the core set. It is usually run by the individual responsible for the dictionary. The core set is the set of entity types, relationship types, relationship classes, and attributes which are provided by System Dictionary at installation time. You can add to this basic set to accommodate whatever special needs your installation requires. The core set is described in detail in Chapter 6 of the HP System Dictionary/XL General Reference Manual, Volume 1 (32256-90004). The SDINIT program also allows you to change the dictionary capacities or the dictionary database password at any time, by reinitializing the dictionary and making these changes. Reinitialization can occur as often as necessary, and, like initialization, is usually done by the individual responsible for the dictionary. The initialization/reinitialization procedures are prompt-driven. Therefore, after you enter the RUN command, you will be prompted for all necessary initialization/reinitialization information.
