<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Great Bridgette !!!!<br>
<br>
you are going to graduate as PhD in cisis !!!<br>
I posted yesterday a challenge, but the exercise is not only a lab
excersise but has important implications in everyday problems of
control<br>
Let me be clear with two real examples<br>
<br>
You have pictures of your patrons, or .pdf files of full text
articles of your journal. This means thousands of digital files<br>
Because of hard disk performance you cannot save all this stuff
in the same directory, but you have to distribute even in a set of
subdirectories.<br>
Let's say you have ten folders named as: 0, 1, 2, .. 9<br>
Now you save files using the last digit of the Id of the User
or the accession number of your book, whatever<br>
<br>
Then you have two problems, real problems you can control with MX<br>
<br>
1) <span class="hps">how do you know</span> <span class="hps">the
file name</span>d <span class="hps">in the record </span><span
class="hps">points to the corresponding </span><span
class="hps">file</span> <span class="hps">in the directory and</span>
<span class="hps">vice versa</span><br>
so there are no records pointing to nowhere, and there are not
orphans digital files<br>
2) How do you know that are not misplaced files, this is, a file
with ending digit 1 is not placed in folder 8<br>
<br>
OK; this is the kind of issues I solve everyday with MX<br>
<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Piet<br>
<br>
Thanks for your comments<br>
Concerning CISIS there are updates with only few
modifications, so the manual is up to date<br>
maybe it is necessary to add examples like this one, and
tricks to solve daily problems of administration even commands<br>
<br>
Take this one only for fun<br>
I use to do daily backups of my system, with .bat files with
using cisis<br>
therefore the first thing I'd need is to create 31 folders,
one for each day, for example <br>
c:\backup\01 .... \31<br>
so, instead of doing c:\> md 01 02 03 04, etc you can
do<br>
<br>
mx tmp "sys='md ',mfn(2) '" to=31 now<br>
<br>
Now the challenge<br>
How do you save your data every day in the corresponding
folder using MX ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Enjoy it<br>
Regards<br>

<div>You are a true magician with CISIS and you keep amazing
me with your skills. I took the trouble of studying (most
of) MX and had great benifit from it while maintaining my
databases. I can recomend it to everyone who is acting as
system manager of ISIS based library applications.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any change the kind of advanced applications
and examples you showed here can find their way into maybe
a new version of the CISIS manual?</div>
