Getting Started
If you are creating a clone of your application using SMU, the source application remains unchanged. If you are updating your application using SMU, you should back up your application (including code and data files, and the database) before making any changes.
Before running SMU, you should:
Disable your database.
Ensure there are no generates or configures running against the database.
Note: The extract pack of a report is not modified as part of an extract pack change if the PPB for the report does not contain a file-equate for GLBPAK, and the source file has been removed.If a file-equate for GLBPACK does not exist in the PPB for the report, then SMU looks in the source file for the report's extract pack. If neither of these are available, then SMU cannot validate the report's current extract pack name with the previous extract pack in the LINCCNTL file.
Running SMU
To run SMU from CANDE, enter the following command:
RUN $( usercode )NGEN28/SMU ON dictpack [ ; FILE LINCCONTROL = equate ]
Here usercode is the Runtime usercode, and dictpack is the Dictionary pack for Runtime.
You can optionally specify an additional file-equate equate for LINCCONTROL, in which case your first screen (the Home screen) is displayed with existing information prefilled.
Navigating SMU
Within SMU, you can access the following screens:
| Screen Name | Use This Screen To … |

The SMU screens have an Action property. When you return to a screen, it is prefilled with the data you previously entered on that screen. Valid Action commands for SMU are listed in the following table.
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
| HELP | Returns the Teach screen (page 2 of the terminal) for this screen. |
| HOME | Returns to the Home screen. |
| BYE | Exits from SMU, aborting all changes. |
| :SLA language | Inquiries on or changes the language for SMU. If language is omitted, the command is treated as an inquiry, and it returns the current language. The language value is numeric, in the range 1 through 15. |
