Missing PHDFM

[Bob Deskin]

QUTIL replaced PHDFM in 8.30 and subsequent versions. This was documented 
in the 8.30 upgrade guide.

Missing PHDFM



I am at a client that is using version 8.40.D1 of PowerHouse on a VMS box. 
 They use a directory containing a coy of all of the file in their 
PowerHouse dictionary.  When they get a new client, they simply copy all 
of these file over the the new directory for the new client and they are 
off and running.  The problem came when they got a new client/customer, 
and found that nearly all of these empty files were missing.  That is over 
400 files. 
 
I was asked how to recreate these empty files.  Their first thought was to 
go into the Dictionary and do a create on each file.  That would be pretty 
time consuming and open to the risk of missing however many along the way.
 
My suggestion was to use PHDFM driven by a text file containing the names 
of all of these files all done through DCL.  I have done this sort of 
thing before and it runs fairly quickly.
 
Now for my problem, When I type in PHDFM I get the following error 
message:
 
K-EBDS_V2 $ phdfm
Error activating image PH_LOCATION:PHDFMA710G4
Image file not found 
_KINER$DKB0:[COGNOS.POWERHSE.][840D1.PH_COMMON]PHDFMA710G4.EXE;
 
They  have a full development license on this box, so I should think 
getting to PHDFM should be no big deal.  Any ideas on how I can get to 
PHDFM?  Any help would be most appreciated.
 
Thanks,
John Stires
