RE: Multiple patterns/ .sub files for the same .db file

[Emmanuel Mayssat <emayssat@outlook.com>]

In your template file, all the parameters need to be defined.
I believe you need to break down your db file in 2 templates.
You substitution file to call in dbLoadTemplate can look like
file "template1.dbt"
{
    pattern {PROTO, P, BOXNO, LEVELNO, CHANNELNO, ELEMENTNO}
        {hvtest.proto, HV, 19, 0, 0, 0}
        {hvtest.proto, HV, 19, 0, 1, 1}
}
file "template2.dbt"
{
   pattern {EELO, EEUP}
        {dhcp, DHCP}
        {ip, IP}
}

template1.dbt includes ONLY the records that use the first set of parameters
template2.dbt includes ONLY the records that use the second set of params.

Subject: Multiple patterns/ .sub files for the same .db file
From: tito.koerner@gmail.com

Hello,

I have .sub file looking like this:

file "hvtest.db"
{
    pattern {PROTO, P, BOXNO, LEVELNO, CHANNELNO, ELEMENTNO}
        {hvtest.proto, HV, 19, 0, 0, 0}
        {hvtest.proto, HV, 19, 0, 1, 1}
}

Now I would need another pattern in the same .db file looking like this:

file "hvtest.db"
{
   pattern {EELO, EEUP}
        {dhcp, DHCP}
        {ip, IP}
}

I tried two dbLoadTemplate - lines in my .cmd file

dbLoadTemplate "a.sub"

dbLoadTemplate "b.sub"

but I then got Error messages saying the substitutions from the first file are undefined. I also tried to put both patterns in one file (I found examples with different patterns for different .db files). But then again I get error messages saying the substitutions are undefined. When I directly append the second pattern after the first, I get a syntax error message. So how can this be done?

Regards,

Tito
