Storage Object Administrative Actions

An Administrative Action is a storage engine function or service that can be performed on an object or object attributes (object row). Depending on the object and the line item that is selected, the Administrative Actions listed are storage engine actions that can be performed on that line item, and in some cases the whole object. The selectable actions that are listed relate to specific functionality of the object being accessed.

Observe the following notes:

• CA Chorus users require authority in the storage engine to perform Storage Administrative Actions in CA Chorus.
• Not all objects have Administrative Actions.
• The available Administrative Actions differ from one object to the next, the procedure for performing an action is similar for all objects.
• Some Administrative Actions are simple, requiring only selecting an option button or require text entries. For example, when renaming a data set in the Action dialog.
• Some Administrative Actions have parameters, and you are required to enter the parameter data in the Action dialog. For example, the Release Idle Space action asks for the percent of idle space you want to keep.
• If an Administrative Actions requires parameters and you select multiple rows, the action is not available. You can only select one row at a time to perform these types of actions. For example, if you want to Rename data sets, you use the Rename action. When using the Rename action, you can only select one data set row at a time, and you can rename it. However, you can select multiple rows and can use the Delete action to delete multiple data sets.
