Consider the following points about the configuration file used by the cronCVT 
utility: 

 

When DBDS Utilities is loaded onto the DNCS, the system automatically places 
the croncvt.sample.ini file into the /dvs/dncs/Utilities directory of the DNCS. 
The system operator should then copy this file to croncvt.ini, and then edit the 
file to suit their system's configuration. 

 

The croncvt.ini file can be moved to another directory, if desired. However, the 
path to that directory then needs to be explicitly specified when setting up the 
crontab file. Likewise, the file can be renamed to suit the system operator, but the 
new name must be reflected accurately in the crontab file. 

Some examples of the croncvt.ini file follow.
