Using Batch Compilers for Migration

If the volume is large or if the dictionaries are under the control of separate CA IDMS/DB or DC/UCF systems, you need to use the batch compilers and utilities.

Migrating Only Load Modules

If you only want to create an executable application in the production environment, you migrate just the essential load modules. Note that for SQL DML applications, the access modules must still be compiled from scratch on the production system.

Migrating the Complete Application

If you want a complete, fully documented application in the production environment, you need to:
