Purpose

MKTMPF creates template repository files from text input files.

Description

A template repository (also referred to as a repository file or repository in this document) is a binary file used by the operating system's Error Logging Facility to find error descriptions, causes, and actions in various message files.

The first step in creating a repository file is to create a text input file for MKTMPF using any text editor. MKTMPF reads and validates this file, reporting any errors or warnings, before translating it to binary data and creating a repository file. For more information see Make Template File (MKTMPF).
