Dump Incremental df
The main purpose of the Dump Incremental program is to dump only the changes that are related to table, but not the base table itself.
For example, in a table if we add an extra field as we need to display in the program, then the added field need to be reflected to the copy database so that the copy database can be same as the current database. Hence, dump incremental is required to take effect in changes made related to table but not the table itself.
The figure below displays the Dump incremental df program screen:
The table below gives a brief description of the fields in this submenu.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Directory | In this field the location where the ‘.df’ data file needs to be dumped is entered.Usually the path “<install-dir>/db/xfiles/incr/” is the location where the ‘.df’ incremental files are dumped. |
| Selected files | This field lists down all the selected files. |
