To run the FDLBORGEN command-line utility:
- Open a DOS command prompt window (Windows) or a shell window
(UNIX).
- Enter the command for FDLBORGEN.
The format for FDLBORGEN command is defined as:
fdlborgen -i[input-file] -o[output-file] -p[prefix]
{-n[object-name]} {-r[repos_version]} {-v[verblist]} {-V}
where:
- -i[input-file]
- Specifies the name of the .fdl file and its path, if the
fdl file is not located in the current directory.
- -o[output-file]
- Specifies the name and location where the generated business object
definition will be stored.
- -n[object-name]
- Specifies the name of the top-level data structure in the fdl
file that is to be converted to a business object definition.
- -p[prefix]
- Specifies the prefix that is inserted before the name of the generated
business object definition. This is useful when differentiating between
the fdl object name and the business object name. The prefix
option is required.
- -r[repos_version]
- Adds the ReposCopy header to the beginning of the generated business
object definition file. For example, -r1.0.2
adds the following to the beginning of the file:
[ReposCopy]
Version = 1.0.2
[End]
If you are overwriting an existing version of a business object definition
file, use this parameter to preserve the version information.
- -v[verblist]
- Specifies the list of verbs to be included in each business object.
The verbs Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete are supported. Separate
each verb with a comma and do not add spaces.
If you do not specify this parameter, the standard Create, Retrieve,
Update, and Retrieve verbs are added.
- -V
- Switches the program into verbose mode and prints out all entries,
attributes, elements, and comments encountered.
- -[mapping-file]
- Specifies the name of a mapping file (and its path if the file is not
located in the current directory). See "Notes on Conversion" below
about the mapping file.
- Note:
- All errors encountered from FDLBORGEN are sent to stderr.
