FDT Maintenance

FDT Maintenance operates in much the same way as Analysis File Maintenance. You can generate a list for viewing (Index List) or a list for maintenance (Service List). FDTs listed in the Service list can be implemented to the Control File in stand-alone mode, deleted from the Analysis File, or regenerated.

FDT regeneration is a disaster recovery function and is therefore not an activity performed under normal circumstances.

FDT implementation allows you to add an FDT to the Control File without implementing a data set allowing you to implement patterns before implementing any particular data set that can use that FDT.
