Modifying a Map Using MAPC › Optionally Loading the Modified Map

Optionally Loading the Modified Map

You can manually load modified maps in the program pool by issuing a DCMT VARY PROGRAM NEW COPY command. If you are not sure whether modified maps are automatically loaded at your site, go ahead and issue this DCMT command for your modified map.

Note: Do not confuse these commands:

• DCMT VARY PROGRAM loads a modified map.
• DCMT VARY DYNAMIC PROGRAM dynamically redefines characteristics of programs and maps and can interfere with your ability to execute the map.

You enter the DCMT VARY PROGRAM command in response to the DC/UCF prompt displayed at your site. The following example shows how to enter this command while using CA IDMS/DC:

ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:
dcmt vary program demo..xxxmap new copy.

                                                                [Enter]

If the DCMT command is successful, DC/UCF displays a confirming message.

If a different message is displayed, verify that you specified the correct map in the DCMT command. You can type the DCMT command again using the correct map name.

Note:

If there are multiple components with the same name, you will be presented with a list of the components and asked to identify the one to be varied.

If you did type the correct map name, you can proceed to execute the Department application. In this case, the program pool doesn't contain a copy of the old map, so a new copy will be loaded automatically the next time a dialog displays the map.
