Automatic Analysis and Implementation

A number of automatic and default features are built into CA Compress. For example, the way CA Compress handles a certain data set, using a given algorithm and implementation mode. You can select to identify the data set and proceed directly to implement compression for it. CA Compress looks to the Analysis File for information with which to implement the data set. If no information is found, the IUI performs the analysis process automatically and then proceeds with the implementation.

CA Compress has a powerful feature called AUTO-IMPLEMENT. The system's operating defaults can be set up so that as the analysis process completes for a data set, and compression implementation automatically starts if the data set achieves a specified level of compression with one of the generated algorithms.

Note: Make sure that you understand and test AUTO-IMPLEMENT before implementing it in full production. Data sets can be destroyed with improper use.
