The Global Directory Editor (GDE) creates, modifies, maintains, and displays the characteristics of Global Directories. GDE also maps LOCKs on resource names to the region of the database specified for the corresponding global variables.

The M Peripheral Interchange Program (MUPIP) creates database files and provides tools for GT.M database management and database journaling.

For more information regarding GT.M database utilities, refer to the "Global Directory Editor", "MUPIP" and "GT.M Journaling" chapters in the GT.M Administration and Operations Guide.
