DDRTVCAT - Runtime and Verify Catalog Program

For CA Datacom/AD, use the DDRTVCAT (CA Datacom Datadictionary Runtime Verify and Catalog) Utility to perform the following functions. When these functions are executed, the CA Datacom Datadictionary VERIFY function is also executed and any resulting error messages are issued. See the CA Datacom Datadictionary error messages in the CA Datacom/DB Message Reference Guide.

-CXX CATALOG

Specifies the occurrence name of the database to be cataloged to the CXX.

-RTV BASIS

Specifies the occurrence name of the database to be used as a model or base when running the catalog program. The -RTV BASIS transaction is optional. It is used when making an exact copy of an existing database in order to have multiple databases.

Important!

• The database being cataloged cannot be open for update by the MUF or any Single-User job when running DDRTVCAT.
• The CXX is the heart of the CA Datacom/AD production system. Therefore, we recommend that you run the DBUTLTY BACKUP AREA=CXX function prior to executing the DDRTVCAT program. See the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide for information on the BACKUP function.

  Note: The name of the CXX is unique for each occurance of the physical CXX dataset.. Starting in this version of this product the name will be enforced to be unique.

• The DDRTVCAT program first compares the database description that was shipped with the CA using product to the newly modified database description and verifies changes. You are only allowed to redefine existing fields and add keys. DDRTVCAT also makes sure that no other changes are made to the shipped database structure. If the DDRTVCAT checks meet the established criteria, the program copies the database to PRODuction status, catalogs the database structure, and enables it for use with CA Dataquery or CA Ideal for CA Datacom.
