CA Datacom Datadictionary and CA Dataquery Databases

Installation of the CA using products populates the CA Datacom Datadictionary in your CA Datacom/AD system while a summarized version is stored in the CXX. This structural detail information is stored in databases 0002 and 0015. The CXX and the CA Datacom Datadictionary and DDD-DATABASE databases should always be backed up together. This should be done when there is no activity in the MUF, but the MUF must be active.

CA Dataquery is an optional product that you can install with CA Datacom/AD. If you install CA Dataquery, its database ID is 0003

If the CA Datacom/AD installation process installs CA Dataquery, it installs DBID 0003 and needs to be part of the backup procedure, as shown in the following:

 BACKUP DBID=0002,DDNAME=dddddddd
 BACKUP DBID=0003,DDNAME=dddddddd
 BACKUP DBID=0015,DDNAME=dddddddd

Use the DBUTLTY BACKUP function to backup the CA Datacom Datadictionary, DDD-DATABASE, and the CA Dataquery databases (optional DBID). For more information, see the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide.

Note: AD14BKUP and AX14DD are samples provided in the install.
