- | ====== MB Patch - Various applications ====== | + | ====== Model Base Patcher ====== |
+ | |||
+ | ===== Overview ===== | ||
+ | The modelbase patcher is used manually patch a SAMM modelbase. | ||
+ | Care must be taken when using the utility as it is possible to | ||
+ | cause damage to the modelbase. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To use the patcher: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. log into the samm account | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. start the utility: MBpatcher | ||
+ | |||
+ | The premise behind the MBpatcher utility is that you first | ||
+ | navigate to the location of the file you want to patch in | ||
+ | the modelbase and then use the patch command to patch a | ||
+ | record in the file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before patching the file, one normally looks at the file | ||
+ | with the show command to see the current settings and determine | ||
+ | the record to be patched. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to navigate to the position of the file a number of | ||
+ | variables must be set before using the 'moveto' command. In order | ||
+ | they are MBroot, mf, fw, dir, var and hierPath. What you need | ||
+ | to set depends on where you want to go. For example, if you want | ||
+ | to patch the "fwTbl" then you only need to set the MBroot | ||
+ | and mf. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is the list of command availible in MBpatcher: | ||
+ | |||
+ | help command - show help for the command | ||
+ | where - show current director | ||
+ | look - show files in current directory | ||
+ | up - move up one directory | ||
+ | set - set a variable | ||
+ | moveto - move to a location | ||
+ | show - show a file | ||
+ | patch - patch a file | ||
+ | quit - quit MBpatcher | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can get this list in MBpatcher by typing help. And for more | ||
+ | information of on a particular command, type help cmdName. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When patching a file, the prompt will be changed to "patch>>". | ||
+ | When you are finished making the patch, type done and MBpatcher | ||
+ | will prompt you to confirm changes as required. | ||
