Change Monitor Operations

Under CV, an authorized user can employ the CA Endevor/DB online system to turn the Change Monitor, the CCDB, or the Security System on or off for a dictionary. This may be required in emergency situations when there is a critical need to bypass security.

Note: Since the NDVRSERV driver task(s) keeps an open run unit for each active CCDB, the areas in the CCDB cannot be varied offline by DCMT commands until the run unit bound by task NDVRSERV under program NDVRFLIO completes. The Control Functions Menu allows the user to release the CCDB run unit via an online command.

To turn off the monitor, security, or release a CCDB run unit:

1. Sign-on to CA Endevor/DB by entering NDVRMIS at the NEXT TASK CODE prompt.
2. Enter OPTION ===>10 (CONTROL FUNCTIONS) on the MAIN MENU.

   The System Control Functions menu appears:

    CA-E/DB nn.n volser    CA-ENDEVOR/DB SYSTEM CONTROL FUNCTIONS mm/dd/yy  NDVRUA00
    USER ===> EDBADMIN            DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR           MODE ===> UPDATE
    OPTION ===> 8
      1  - BROWSE CCDB DESCRIPTOR RECORD      2  - MODIFY CCDB DESCRIPTOR RECORD
      3  - BROWSE SECURITY DESCRIPTORS        4  - ADD A SECURITY DESCRIPTOR
      5  - MODIFY SECURITY DESCRIPTORS        6  - DELETE SECURITY DESCRIPTORS
      7  - BROWSE MONITOR DICT STAT BLOCKS    8  - MODIFY MONITOR DICT STAT BLOCKS
    SECURITY CLASS ===>                                 (IF OPTIONS 3, 4, 5, 6 )
    DICTNAME       ===> SRCNDVR                         (IF OPTIONS 7, 8 )
   

3. Enter OPTION ===>8 (MODIFY MONITOR DICT STAT BLOCKS).
4. Enter the base name of the CCDB to be varied in the DICTNAME field.

   The Monitor DICT Status Block Detail screen appears:

    CA-E/DB nn.n volser     MONITOR DICT STATUS BLOCK DETAIL      mm/dd/yy  NDVRMA30
    USER ===> EDBADMIN             DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR          MODE ===> UPDATE
    ACTION ===> MODIFY
    *********************  DICTIONARY STATUS BLOCK INFORMATION  *******************
    DBNAME ===> SRCNDVR
    CURRENT MONITOR ACCESS MODE ===> U        PENDING MONITOR ACCESS MODE ===>
    CA-E/DB SECURITY PROCESSING ===> Y        CA-E/DB CHANGE LOGGING      ===> Y
   

If you left the DICTNAME blank on the prior screen, a list of all the active CCDBs running under the driver task for the dictionary under which you are operating will appear. In this case, place a non-blank character next to the correct DICTIONARY and press ENTER to get to the screen shown above. This screen contains Change Monitor control information for the specified dictionary.
