Migration Tasks

Migration generally consists of two or three tasks:

• Punching or decompiling components from a dictionary to a temporary work file or external file
• Compiling the components from the temporary work file or external file into the target dictionary
• Recompiling load modules, as necessary, in the target dictionary

The options of the schema, subschema, DDDL compilers, and command facility that you use for these tasks function identically. Different options exist in the mapping compilers and the mapping utility, and CA ADS compilers.

The following discussions explore the methods of migration using the DISPLAY and PUNCH statement options of the schema, subschema, and DDDL compilers and the command facility, and the various parameters of the mapping compilers and the mapping utility.
