Creating and Updating a Comms Database
You must use the CED
mode to create or update a Comms
database. In this mode, you can specify a configuration file in either text
format (.cfg
) or XML format (.xml
) as input file. For
more information, see Creating and Modifying Input Files for a Comms Database.
Creating a Comms database
You can use the following command to create a Comms database:
> SDB -m ced.<Symbian OS version> <input
file>
For information about the various options in the preceding command, see
SDB Creator Tool Syntax.
The following are CED-specific options:
Options | Values | |
---|
ced.<Symbian OS version>
|
For Symbian OS v9.1, specify ced.91
For Symbian OS v9.2, specify ced.92
For Symbian OS v9.3, specify ced.93
For Symbian OS v9.4, specify ced.94
For Symbian OS v9.5, specify ced.95
| |
Note: The databases created using ced.91
and
ced.92
are compatible with the database created using
ced.93
.
The following are some example scenarios:
-
To create a database file with the default name
cccccc00.cre
at the default location for Symbian OS v9.3:
> SDB -m ced.93 sample.cfg
-
To create a database file by specifying the required output
database file name and location:
> SDB -m ced.94 sample.xml -o
D:\CEDFiles\cccccc00.cre
-
To create a derived Comms database file based on an existing Comms
database file and a configuration file:
> SDB -m ced.95 -i inputced.db -o outputced.db
new.cfg
This commands creates the outputced.db
database as a
copy of the inputced.db
database. It then updates
outputced.db
with the settings specified in new.cfg
.
Updating a Comms database
You can use the following command to update an existing Comms database
file:
> SDB -m ced.<Symbian OS version> -i <input database
file> -o <output database file> <input file>
To update an existing input Comms database, you must specify same file
name for the input (using -i
tag) and output (using
-o
tag) databases. For information about the various options in
the preceding command, see SDB Creator Tool Syntax.
The following are some example scenarios:
-
To update an existing Comms database file that is Symbian OS v9.4
compatible:
> SDB -m ced.94 -i inputced.db new.xml -o
inputced.db
This command updates inputced.db
with the settings in
the new.xml
file.
-
To update an existing Comms database file that is Symbian OS v9.5
compatible:
> SDB -m ced.95 -i inputced.db new.cfg -o
inputced.db
This command updates inputced.db
with the new settings
in the new.cfg
file.
