Define the Smallest Subset Possible

When defining a subset, scope only on objects that are necessary. For example, do not scope on a business system unless you need to change the system’s default information (system commands, PF keys, screen templates, exit state, video attributes, custom video properties, and edit patterns).

Business Value

Smaller subsets result in:

• Lower cost for checkout
• Reduced protection conflicts between users of a model
• Minimum impact of current access to the encyclopedia

Note: For more information about how to define subsets, see the CA Gen Host Encyclopedia Subsetting User Guide.
