Class MergeTassDatabases

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.billf.tass.MergeTassDatabases

public class MergeTassDatabases

extends java.lang.Object

This little main program will merge two or more TASS databases into a single database. It keeps track of which application is responsible for each reference using a hierarchical numbering scheme. For example, assume company X generates a tass database. In this database, run 42 generated a reference R. If this database is the second one merged into the merged database, reference R will be identified with "2.42" internally.

To use this, just invoke it with the name of the merged database first, and one or more databases to merge into it. It will always add entries to a database, so don't merge the same database in twice. There's no way to remove entries from a database; one must remove the database and build it back up from scratch.

See the usage message for details on command-line arguments.
