Regeneration Procedure 1

All communication with MX-ONE is here done via an SSH shell.
  1. To select a target system. This step will determine what source systems that is available. Using the Target type combo box make an appropriate selection.

  2. To select a source system. Using the Source type combo box make an appropriate selection.

  3. To select a regeneration path. Under this path it is necessary to have a \source and a \target directory. These directories can be created for PC-Regen-starter or the general file manager.

  4. To create a batch file. This file is sent to the source MX-ONE system to generate print data data_gen.batch. This step will also generate files gjtsp.batch, pu_add_info.batch, racep2.batch and scexp2.batch. These files are used by PC-Regen-compact at data collection time. To do this, click the Generate batch files button.
    Note:

    It is possible to attach custom printouts last in data_gen.batch by creating them as a separate file and select the file with the Add to batch button.

  5. Zip all the files generated in step 4 to a zip file. i.e. data_gen_file.zip.

  6. Move the file that was created in step 5 to a separate directory on the source MX-ONE system, i.e. /tmp/pcregenData, and unzip the file.

  7. Run the file to collect print data. On the MX-ONE source system, go to directory /tmp/pcregenData

    and run:

    source ./data_gen.batch | tee logFile.txt. This will collect the print data to this directory.

  8. Zip all collected data from this directory into a zipped file i.e.:
    /tmp/pcregenData # zip -j pcregenSource.zip *.
    Note: The –j option zips the files without directory information.
  9. Move the file pcregenSource.zip to your PC onto the ./source directory below your regeneration

    path and unzip it.

  10. Perform the actual regeneration. From the PC-Regen-starter program with, the proper Target type, Source type and Regen paths selected, click the:

    Run Regeneration button. This will create the initiation files to be sent to you target MX-ONE.

  11. Zip all files in the .../target directory of your regen path to a single file.

    i.e. pcregenTarget.zip.

  12. Move the file that was created in step 11 to a separate directory on your target MX-ONE system i.e, /tmp/upgradeData. Unzip the file: tmp/upgradeData # unzip pcregenTarget.zip

  13. Run the generated batch file REGENCMD.TXT:

    tmp/upgradeData # mdsh -c source REGENCMD.TXT I tee upgradeLog.txt

    Your system shall now be running with regenerated data. It is a good idea to do a system backup:

    tmp/upgrade Data # data_backup
