CA Datacom AutoScope Toolset

In AutoScope, we have delivered a new set of tools for the Database Administrator. These tools provide a wide variety of functionality to assist the DBA in managing the CA Datacom environment.

The AutoInfo tool has been designed to assist the AD user in collecting and documenting information about the site's AD repository and its current configuration.

Use AutoInfo for Problem Documentation and Support Interaction

The AutoInfo function provides a simple way for you to collect all of the environmental information for a selected MUF in one simple report.

In addition to providing a report for the user, AutoInfo can also create a simple sequential data set that can be transported to CA Support. Upon reception, CA Support can convert the sequential data set into a working spreadsheet that provides the Support technician with the MUF environmental information.

AutoInfo can be used to reduce the amount of work a DBA must go through to document a given MUF environment. This is particularly useful when working with a CA Support technician on a CA Datacom issue. It can also be useful as a documentation tool, where you can save environmental information for a set of MUFs in case later research is needed.

Business Value

AutoInfo provides a simple process to quickly collect MUF environmental reducing the amount of time needed to document a support issue.

Using this functionality, you can improve the DBA's control of a given system and help to reduce their workload.

Additional Considerations

For the AutoInfo process to provide the maximum amount of information, you must have the Dynamic System Tables Database enabled.

The AutoInfo function is executed using the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY AUTOINFO function.
