CA IDMS DDS System Generation › Overview

Overview

This chapter describes the CA IDMS DDS components included in a DC/UCF system generation to define a node. For system generation syntax and rules, see the CA IDMS System Generation Guide.

Each node specified

Each node in a network is generated by including specific CA IDMS DDS system generation statements and clauses with the standard DC/UCF system generation statements. These statements and clauses allow the administrator to specify the characteristics of the node and its relationship with other nodes. During DC/UCF system generation, the individual node, its direct connections to other nodes, system control information, and database information are defined:

• Node name—The name by which the node is known to other nodes in the network.
• CA IDMS DDS ports—The LINE and PTERM pair that defines the access point through which the node passes request and response packets to other nodes.
• SYSCTL overrides (z/OS)—System control information used to direct external request units to the appropriate node and/or database.

CA IDMS DDS reports

System generation reports that produce the CA IDMS DDS-specific information are available. These reports allow the administrator to examine and evaluate the components of the network.

A discussion of the CA IDMS DDS system characteristics and reporting capabilities follows.
