The
Ber2txt Utility
The ber2txt
utility generates an ASCII text representation of the binary data in an
ASN.1/BER formatted record, the format in which all SiteSearch database
records are stored. This is a useful utility for debugging and analyzing
the structure of BER files.
The ber2txt
utility is located in the <WebZ_root>/scripts directory
of your SiteSearch environment and the <WebZ_root>/dbbuilder/ssdot/exes
directory of your environment, if you have installed Open SiteSearch Database
Builder.. The utility is a script that executes the ORG.oclc.fmts.ber2txt
class.
Syntax
ber2txt
-cclassFile/IniFile -tsection -dIniFileRoot
-iinputfile [-mmaxrecs] [-nno_labels]
[-rrecord_type ][-sskiprecs]
