CTBDBCP – Increase Size of a Database File

This utility copies the contents of a specified source file to a specified target file. All relevant aspects of the file are copied, including (pointers to) variable definitions, variable generations, and group information.

The sizes of the source and target files can differ. Therefore, the CTBDBCP utility is useful for increasing the size of a file. Usually, this utility copies data from a source file to a larger target file.

Copying a file is composed of the following stages:

• Create and format a new file (target file).
• Copy the data from the source file to the newly created target file.
• Delete the source file.

The CTBDBVCP utility can modify all Control-M/Analyzer database files simultaneously. However, the CTBDBCP utility is more efficient than the CTBDBVCP utility when modifying a single file.
