Appendix C: Readme for DDS Keyword Survey Tool


This is a copy of the readme.html file for the DDS survey tool. This tool surveys your DDS source to determine

  • What keywords in your application are supported in the current level of the WebFacing Tool.

  • When you can expect support for the remainder of the keywords.

To use the SURVEY tool on a V4R5, V5R1, or V5R2 iSeries host, follow these steps:

  1. If you have an older version of this tool, complete the next sub-steps to remove it. If you do not have an older version, skip to Step 2.

    1. Using the DSPLIBL command, check the library list to ensure there is no SURVEY library in your library list.

    2. If there is a SURVEY library listed, use the CHGLIBL command, then press F4 to remove SURVEY from the list.

    3. Delete the SURVEY library using the command:

       DLTLIB SURVEY. 
  2. Download the file  survey.savf to your workstation.

  3. FTP the save file to the iSeries host.

    1. Create an empty Save File on your host with the following command:

       CRTSAVF FILE(SURVEY) LIBRARY(your_library_name) 
    2. From a Windows command prompt, CD to the directory where you downloaded  survey.savf file.

    3. To begin a new FTP session, enter:

       FTP your_host_name 
    4. In the FTP session, enter BIN to switch to binary mode. CD to the library you created the empty Save file in:

       CD your_library_name 
    5. Transfer the Save file with the PUT command:

       PUT SURVEY.SAVF SURVEY 
    6. When the transfer is completed, enter QUIT to exit the FTP session.

  4. Restore the SURVEY library from the save file using the command:

     RSTLIB LIB (SURVEY) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(your_library_name/SURVEY) 
  5. Add the SURVEY library in your library list or make SURVEY your current library.

    1. To add SURVEY to your library list, use the command:

       ADDLIBLE LIB (SURVEY) 
    2. To make SURVEY your current library, use the command:

       CHGCURLIB CURLIB (SURVEY). 
  6. Use the SURVEY command to run this tool. In the Prompt screen, fill in your company name as the first parameter, and provide the name of the library containing your DDS source as the second parameter. This command will check all the DSPF members in every Physical File and count the DDS Keywords.

  7. Use the WRKSPLF command to check the result. The spool file name is QSYSPRT and the user -specified data of that file is WEBFACING.
