The BULDACCT utility lets users with SM capability
take a snapshot of the directory
structure on a source system running MPE/iX and recreate it on a different
destination system. It is especially useful for creating a
directory structure on a system without a tape drive where the
;DIRECTORY option of the RESTORE command cannot be used.
BULDACCT also lets you migrate a set of accounts from one volume
set to another. This is useful with mirror disks, since they do not
allow the system volume set to be mirrored, and it may have accounts
that you need moved to a different volume set.
BULDACCT has been enhanced to support the hierarchical
file system of MPE/iX. As the default, BULDACCT automatically saves
all accounts, groups, users, hierarchical directories and the ACDs
associated with the directories.
However, if BULDACCT detects that the operating system does not
support POSIX, it does not look for any hierarchical directories.
In addition, three new options have been added to BULDACCT:
%NODIRS%, %ROOT% and %NOROOT%. These options let you control the
migration of root and non-root hierarchical directories when using
BULDACCT. Each option is explained in the "Operation" section.
