I have have added the following RULES.Db in the $TOP/configure directory
where used.   (3.14.4)

# RULES.Db
# Usage: 
# Place this file in your $TOP/configure directory.
# Include this file before $(TOP)/configure/RULES in your *App/Db
Makefile.
#
# This file does two things:
# Provides a rule for translating what the msi document calls dbTemplate
# format substitution files into db files.
#
# Provides for the extraction of request files and archive request files
# from templates.
#
# To use this file you must define USES_TEMPLATE to include the template
# files that you include.  These can have any suffix. 
# 

# translate a a dbTemplate style substitution file.
$(COMMON_DIR)/%.db$(RAW): %.substitutions $(USES_TEMPLATE)
        @ln -f -s $^ .
        @echo "Inflating database from $< using local rule"
        $(RM) $@
        $(DBDEPENDS_CMD)
        $(MSI) -S$< </dev/null > msi.tmp
        $(MV) msi.tmp $@
        @rm -f $(notdir $^)



# request file and arReq file record attributes look like this
# in the template file:
# # @arReq $(S)_$(SS):GateGen$(N)_$(DI):ParityError 600 Monitor
#
# extract a auto save restore file from a completed db file
$(INSTALL_DB)/%.req: $(COMMON_DIR)/%.req
        cp $< $@
$(COMMON_DIR)/%.req: $(COMMON_DIR)/%.db$(RAW)
        @ echo "Extracting $@ from $<"
        @ grep "@req" $< | sed ' s/# *@req *// ' > $@

$(COMMON_DIR)/%.req: %.db
        @ echo "Extracting $@ from $<"
        @ grep "@req" $< | sed ' s/# *@req *// ' > $@

$(COMMON_DIR)/%.req: %.template
        @ echo "Extracting $@ from $<"
        @ grep "@req" $< | sed ' s/# *@req *// ' > $@

$(INSTALL_DB)/%.arReq: $(COMMON_DIR)/%.arReq
        cp $< $@
$(COMMON_DIR)/%.arReq: $(COMMON_DIR)/%.db$(RAW)
        @ echo "Extracting $@ from $<"
        @ grep "@arReq" $< | sed ' s/# *@arReq *// ' > $@

Subject: database expansion in R3.14.4

I've been trying to expand a database at build time using a
substitutions file that uses several template files, named in the file. 
It seems that whatever I do I can only get the command

msi *.substitution *.template > msi.tmp 

to run, which uses the named template file in all template lines in the
substitution file regardless of the file named therein,  when really all
I want is 

msi *.substitution > msi.tmp

I looked this up in the application developers guide and it seems to
agree that only the first functionality, which seems to only allow using
one template file per substitution file, is provided.

What am I missing here?  Did the 3.14 build rules really drop this
capability?

Carl
