Directory (CXX)

The Directory (CXX) contains the definitions that are required for any database access. With CA Datacom/AD, these definitions are updated infrequently, if at all depending on your using product. However, the CXX is considered the central control file for the DBMS containing record counts, locks, enques, and the assignment of RUNUNIT members. Be sure to always have a current backup available in case of an emergency.

The following is the DBUTLTY control statement:

 BACKUP AREA=CXX,DDNAME=dddddddd

The dddddddd identifies the JCL DD statement for the output data set for each of the backups. For more information, see the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide.
