In Release 3.0, system data is grouped and stored in database files,called datafiles.The process for displaying system data remains the same. The data mustbe read and then displayed. To aid in selecting the desired datafile,Table 16-1 indicates the datafile types and subtypes. Table 16-2 convertsthe file numbers from releases preceding Release 3.0 to the datafile typesand subtypes, which now contain the data previously stored by file number.The following sections contain steps for performing these utilities, usingfigures for examples. The steps for reaching each subtype are not included.These utilities are useful to those field-service engineers who have taken theAdvanced Troubleshooting class at Octel Communications Corporation becauseinformation about interpreting datafile records is provided in this class.SECTION 16.7 – 16.8
