Checking a Subset In or Out of the Encyclopedia › Initiate Subset Checkout from the Host Encyclopedia › Subset Checkout Procedure

Subset Checkout Procedure

The following procedure describes where downloading is initiated from the Host Encyclopedia.

To download a subset to a toolset manually, follow these steps:

1. From the Main Menu, select Host Encyclopedia Functions, Subset Management, Download, or enter 1.4.13.
2. Identify the model containing the subset and the subset to download. To download all objects in the model, enter ALL as the subset name.
3. Enter the model release for Software version. If you do nott know, enter 1.3.5 from the Main Menu to display the Model Statistics panel, where the last entry is model release.
4. Accept the default transaction file name to use userid.IEF.TRAN as the name of the data set to be created at download or enter a different name, where your TSO user ID is automatically used as the prefix.
5. Accept the default Extract option, No, to download the subset to the workstation.
6. Enter the codepage.

   Note: For a listing of supported codepages, see the CA Gen Client Server Encyclopedia User Guide.

Note: If you do not know what it should be, bring up the Encyclopedia Client and detail an existing model using the same language. The codepage is displayed as Language Code. This is the identifier for the language (for example, English, French, Japanese) on the destination platform (for example, UNIX, Windows), or the platform where the encyclopedia resides.

Also, look at a model that already resides on the workstation. The model properties show the current version, tool, and codepage.

1. Accept online as the execution mode or change to batch. Press Enter.
   • If Online, initiates the download process. The message “IEF OK” indicates the successful completion.
   • If Batch, displays JCL. Submit job. The “Batch download was successful” message indicates a successful completion.
   • To specify JCL, use option 5.2.1 from the Main Menu.
2. Transfer (as binary or data) the resulting file, userid.ief.tran, from the Host Encyclopedia to the toolset model directory on your workstation; name the file to be transferred “CHECKOUT.TRN.”

   For example, the path to the file in drive d for subset1 would be:

   d:\subset1.ief\checkout.trn

3. Open the subset:
   1. Select Model, Encyclopedia, Check Out a Model. Uncheck the checked box for Perform file transfers for encyclopedia options or verify that it is not selected.
   2. Enter the Model Name, Subset Name, and Local Name as described in online help. Be sure to enter <subset> as the local name.

   For example, if the subset name were subset1, you would enter subset1 as the local name. The name that you enter identifies the <subset>.ief directory where the checkout.trn file resides.
