Assimilation › Using the YRTVPFMDL Command

Using the YRTVPFMDL Command

You use the Retrieve Physical Files into Model (YRTVPFMDL) command to perform assimilation. Confirm that all developers and programmers are out of the model. Execute the YRTVPFMDL command before entering the model.

The YRTVPFMDL command retrieves into a CA 2E design model all file and field definitions not already present in the model. It creates a CA 2E file for each i OS physical file retrieved and a CA 2E field for each of the retrieved fields found with a unique DDS name. The fields are connected to the file with Has relations.

The YRTVPFMDL command has several parameters that allow you to perform functions such as removing the DDS prefix from field names, amending a retrieved field, and nominating a file that you want CA 2E to treat as a field reference file.

Note: You can retrieve an i OS SQL table into your model by specifying the name of the associated i OS physical file in the library for the SQL collection.
