The CA IDMS DLI Transparency Load Utility

What the Load Utility Does

The CA IDMS DLI Transparency load utility populates a CA IDMS/DB database with data unloaded from the existing DL/I database(s) used by the DL/I application.

Before You Run the Load Utility

Before you can run the load utility, you must have:

• An already created and initialized CA IDMS/DB database in which to receive the DL/I data. To do this, you must have created subschema and DMCL load modules for the database. These load modules are created by the appropriate CA IDMS/DB compilers when you input the schema, subschema, and DMCL source definitions produced by the CA IDMS DLI Transparency syntax generator.
• An IPSB load module for the CA IDMS/DB database. This load module is created by the IPSB compiler using the source statements produced by the CA IDMS DLI Transparency syntax generator.
• The unloaded DL/I database data, as formatted by the DL/I HD unload utility.

For output, the load utility stores the DL/I data in the CA IDMS/DB database in accordance with the supplied schema, subschema, DMCL, and IPSB load modules.
