AutoCollect - Creating User Defined DELTA Rowsets › Processing Data Outside of the AUTOCOLL Functions › Freeform Editing

Freeform Editing

We have documented various techniques to create and maintain Delta rowsets. However, in certain cases, you may need to do additional editing of the Snapshot or Delta rowsets.

Because the Snapshot and Delta tables are available for "open" access, you can use standard CA Datacom tools to update and or delete rows in these tables.

We recommend, that before any such action is taken by you that the Snapshot and Delta tables are backed up to prevent any inadvertent data loss. AutoCollect data can encompass information collected over weeks or months of execution. The data can only be recovered using DBUTLTY; it cannot be recreated (re-captured).
