[Isis-users] Logically deleted records

[Bridgette Heron]

Dear Mr. Spinak,

It would seem that nobody took on your challenge  I used the first option you suggested (SWK) but I was more interested in the MX approach. I did the exercise and tried to decipher the contents of the deleted.txt file. I learned a little but not enough to go further. Can you do me the honours of explaining further.

Thanks,
Bridgette

Dear Bridgette

There are two ways to do this, 
the easiest one is to use the application Swiss Knife (SWK)
you can download the package from Unesco  
http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=17110&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html

there you open SWK, load the database, to go the tab Miscellaneous and ask the procedure  "Deleted"
then you will get a fast list with MFNs

The other way, to work with complex and very large databases is to use MX   ( again??   yes!!!)

Hi everybody!!!!
I'll give you a hint and we'll leave 24 hours to see if a colleague eager to take risks get the complete solution
The winners will get from us the warmest congratulations

Exercise:   let's take CDS database and we'll prepare it deleting every tenth record

mx cds copy=cds  proc='d.'  loop=10 now -all tell=10,  

now the hint

mx cds  -all  +leader  now   > deleted.txt

Regards and enjoy the challenge

Ernesto Spinak

  Hello everyone,

  Can the MX utility be used to identify/search for and print to a text file my logically deleted records; by MFN number and/or by titles? I am using Winisis, thanks.
