Synchronizing the Model

Synchronizing the model ensures that any changes to the relations in a model are reflected in the CA 2E file entries of the model. This process removes all file locks and can only be done by a *DSNR with exclusive access to the model. A *DSNR can synchronize the model when exiting the model, select the resynchronize data model option.

Note: This option is not available if the YOPNACC model value is *YES unless you enter the model using the YEDTMDL command and override the OPNACC option to *NO. This gives the *DSNR exclusive access to the model and the option of synchronizing the model when exiting. After synchronization, YOPNACC is automatically reset to *YES.

• Access the Display Unreferenced Fields panel. (Press F11 from the Display Fields panel.) This panel implicitly synchronizes the model.
• Use one of the following options on the Display Services menu. These options implicitly synchronize the model.
  • Submit model create request (YSBMMDLCRT)
  • Job list menu. From this menu, select one of the following options:
• YBLDJOBLST (Build job list for model)
• YCHKJOBLE (Check job list entries)
• YSBMMDLCRT (Submit model create requests)
• Use the Synchronize Model (YSNCMDL) command outside of the model.

  We recommend that you run the YSNCMDL command at the end of each day to synchronize the model and clear all outstanding file locks.
