CXXMAINT (Maintain Directory) › CXXMAINT DDPROD (Update Directory) › When to Use

When to Use

Use the DDPROD option to update the Directory when adding or changing definitions in CA Datacom/DB which must be reflected in the Directory. Perform the tasks in the following order:

1. Define the new table or modify the existing table definition in CA Datacom/DB.
2. Execute the CA Datacom/DB DDCFBLD utility to create the input for the DDPROD option. (See the CA Datacom Datadictionary Batch Reference Guide for details.)
3. Use the DDPROD option to update the Directory to reflect the CA Datacom/DB definitions.

You can also use the DDPROD option to create a new database with a different database identifier from an existing production database definition. This option is useful to create a replica of a database for testing purposes.

Important! Do not use the CXXMAINT DDPROD option for SQL accessible tables, or on a database containing SQL accessible tables, or on databases containing partitioned tables. Instead, use the CA Datacom/DB CATALOG transaction.
