AutoCollect – Creating SNAPSHOT and System DELTA Rowsets › Snapshots of Selected DST Tables › Executing the AUTOCOLL SNAPSHOT Function

Executing the AUTOCOLL SNAPSHOT Function

The SNAPSHOT function must be executed on the same LPAR as the source MUF. When executing the function, the STEPLIB concatenation must include the following:

• Library concatenation that provides a DBSIDPR module that points to the repository MUF, that is, the MUF that contains DBID 1019 and 1020.
  • If the repository MUF is on a different LPAR from the source MUF, the DBSIDPR communication must be set up to use XCF or CCI to connect to the repository MUF.
• Complete set of CA-Datacom execution libraries.

The SNAPSHOT function performs the following:

• Uses a standard URT to connect to the repository MUF through DBSIDPR.
• Uses the dynamic navigation process to connect to the source MUF.
• Issues the appropriate commands to retrieve the DST rows from the source MUF.
• Formats and stores the DST rows as snapshot rows using RAAT ADDIT commands to the SNAPSHOT tables on the repository MUF
• Produces a report providing the following:
  • Connection status
  • Snapshot row counts
  • Errors

Selection Parameters

For the SNAPSHOT function, select the source MUF to process into a snapshot rowset.

MUFNAME=mufname

Specifies the MUFNAME to be processed.

Output Parameters

OUTNAME

Place your 1- to 8-byte character MUFNAME that will be used to overlay the MUFNAME of the selected the source MUF. If the OUTNAME is not specified, the rows are created with the MUFNAME from the source MUF.

The expected return code is 0 when executing the SNAPSHOT function. For details about the AUTOCOLL CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide.
