To Convert a Model

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Main Menu.
2. Select options 1.3.11. Press Enter. The Model Conversion Request Panel displays.
3. Select the type of conversion to be performed. Press Enter.
   • Select Option 1 if the model resides on another encyclopedia and must be copied into a CA Gen encyclopedia before conversion.
   • Select Option 2 if the model already resides in the CA Gen encyclopedia.
4. For options 1 and 2, specify the name of the model you want to convert, as it exists on the Host Encyclopedia.
5. For option 2, choose online or batch execution mode.
6. Press Enter.
7. If the online option is selected, this message displays:

   	REL. X MODEL CONVERSION FOR (Version x encyclopedia ID).
   

   CA Gen checks whether the model is checked out. If the model is checked out, this message displays:

   	The model is already checked out
   

   If the model is checked out, you must press Enter and check it back in.

   The Model Conversion Request Panel redisplays with the following message:

   	RETURN CODE = 0, Rx -> Ry MODEL CONVERSION COMPLETED
   

8. If the batch option is selected, a batch JCL is generated. Submit the JCL to convert the model in batch.
9. If the option for converting all models is selected, an informational panel is displayed with warnings. If you press Enter, a batch JCL is generated. Submit the JCL to convert all models in batch.
10. Press End.
