| - | ====== 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. | ||
| + | |||
