Restrictions

Restrictions regarding how to use CA Datacom Datadictionary in the CA Datacom/AD environment are as follows:

You cannot create database structures other than the ones that are provided by the CA using product.
You are only allowed to redefine existing columns (fields) and add keys to the tables in the database approved for use with the CA using product.
You cannot add columns (FIELD entity-occurrences), change the size of the supplied keys, or create your own databases, areas, or tables to use with the CA using product. You can make a duplicate of an existing database structure.
Specific naming conventions are enforced.
You must use the DDRTVCAT utility to catalog the database from PROD status in the CA Datacom Datadictionary to the CXX after you make any changes. DDRTVCAT validates and ensures that no critical changes are made to the shipped CA database structure.
