Process RMA DHCTs From a File
Overview
Operators of sites where the staging area is remotely located from the DNCS may
find it difficult to supply the DNCS operator with the RMA CD so that the DNCS
operator can execute the del-hct-cd utility in conjunction with RMA DHCTs. To
support these sites, we have included an option in the del-hct-cd.sh script,
implemented by the -p switch, that enables the script to read from a file rather than
from the RMA CD.

Important: System operators and network administrators who currently use the -p
switch when processing RMA DHCTs already have a thorough understanding of the
directory structure of the RMA CD because they must model the directory structure
of their DNCS to reflect that of the CD. Other than a brief mention, this section
provides no instructions on analyzing the directory structure of the RMA CD, nor on
modeling the directory structure of the DNCS to reflect that of the CD. Any site that
is interested in using the -p switch to process RMA DHCTs from a file rather than
from the CD should contact Cisco Services for guidance.

Guidelines for Processing RMA DHCTs From a File
On the RMA CD, the individual DHCT definition files that are used when
processing RMA DHCTs are stored in the …/dncs/dhcts directory. To use the -p
switch, system operators must have a similar directory structure in place on their
DNCS.

Examples:
/export/home/ftp/dncs/dhcts
/tmp/ftp/dncs/dhcts
In the examples provided above, system operators duplicate the entire CD directory
structure and contents at /export/home/ftp or /tmp/ftp on the DNCS.

Note: Even though the entire directory structure is copied to the DNCS, the del-hct-
cd.sh script, when used with the -p switch, only accesses the dncs/dhcts
subdirectory.

To run the del-hct-cd utility using the -p and -a switches, system operators execute
the del-hct-cd.sh -a -p/[directory path name] command, and then press Enter.
