Tailoring CA Dataquery and CA Datacom/DB

Once you have installed CA Dataquery as described in the CA Datacom Installation and Maintenance Guide, you must perform several steps to prepare CA Datacom/DB and CA Dataquery for CA Dataquery operation. The steps for customizing CA Dataquery and for tailoring CA Datacom/DB for CA Dataquery operation are listed following and discussed in more detail in following chapters.

1. Prepare the MUF and review its startup options. For more information, see Preparing the CA Datacom/DB Multi-User Facility.
2. Tailor the CA Dataquery System Option Table. For more information, see Tailoring the CA Dataquery System Option Table.
3. Prepare the CA Dataquery system tables. For more information, see Preparing and Maintaining the CA Dataquery System Tables.
4. Prepare CICS. For more information, see Implementing CA Dataquery Under CICS.
5. Set up the Accounting Facility.

   If you intend to use the Accounting Facility for accounting, billing, or performance monitoring, see Using the Accounting Facility for more information.

6. If you intend to execute queries using the Batch Facility or print to a system printer after online query execution:
   • You can set up online batch submission JCL for selected users or groups of users.
   • You must install the internal reader.
   • You can also export columns and keys named in the PRINT or DISPLAY statement of a query to an output file. You must prepare to use the Batch Export function. For more information, see Using the Batch Export Function.
7. Prepare to extract data. (DQL Mode only.)

   If you intend to extract data so that user programs can access the data, see Extracting Data (FEX) for more information.

8. Prepare for user exit use.

   If you want to write and use user exits for such things as your signon procedure or for query validation. For more information, see Programming User Exits.

9. Set up the CA Dataquery Language Maintenance Facility.

   If you want to use the Language Maintenance Facility to translate or customize the CA Dataquery vocabulary, literals, messages, commands, menus, and panels. For more information, see Using the Language Maintenance Facility.

   If you have translated portions of CA Dataquery with the last version and have run DQLANGMT with the SYSIN RUNTYPE=LOAD,LANG=xx, (where xx is the code for your translated panels) before installing this version, you can retain your translations on those portions of CA Dataquery that have not changed. See Upgrading to a New Version, the CA Datacom Release Notes, or the installation documentation for details.

10. Plan and implement security. For more information, see Security Overview.
11. Add and authorize users. For more information, see Authorizing Users.
12. Create your CA Dataquery databases. For more information, see Defining Databases.
13. Define the CA Dataquery User Requirements Tables. For more information, see Defining the CA Dataquery User Requirements Tables.
