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.
