MFCATNML Utility[5]

This command-line utility normalizes the SQL URLs of catalog entries.

Run MFCATNML against an existing catalog before doing an incompatible upgrade from Enterprise Developer, Enterprise Server, or version 7.0.

Important: Before running MFCATNML, we strongly recommend that you back up your existing catalog.

You may execute MFCATNML against the database-hosted catalog, or you can download the catalog from the database and run MFCATNML locally.

Set the following environment variables before running MFCATNML:

ES_DB_FH=Y
MFSYSCAT=full path and filename of the catalog to be updated
Syntax
mfcatnml [-q] [-s] [-d]
Parameters
-q
Performs the normalization process in quiet mode, meaning that normalized datasets are not listed. When omitted, all normalized datasets are listed.
-s
Stops processing when it fails to normalize an entry. When omitted, normalization proceeds with the remaining catalog entries after a failure.
-d[9]
Excludes processing of cataloged spool files if they are on disk.
