Datafile Software

Create List of Application Files

This option creates a text file of all the files – databases and parameter files – used within the ProFiler application. This can be used for the creation of backups for applications.

Firstly, you are asked whether you wish to include the database files – for a backup you would say ‘yes’ but if you are transferring the application to another site you may say ‘no’. You are then asked to confirm the filename to be created containing the list; this defaults to application.txt though you can amend if required.

If create as ‘application.txt’ then you can use the shareware PKZIP utility to create a backup based on the txt name at the command line using ‘PKZIP FILENAME @APPLICATION.TXT’.

Alternatively if you create the file as ‘application.dbu’ then you can use the supplied DFZIP utility to create a Datafile backup at the command line using ‘DFZIP APPLICATION’.
