Setting Up Global Dictionary Options

To set up the global dictionary options, you must modify the default settings which were automatically created when the CCDB was first opened. These global dictionary options can be set up through the CA Endevor/DB Online facility or the Batch facility.

To do so using the Batch facility, execute the following MODIFY DICTIONARY command in a Batch job:

MODIFY DICTIONARY dictname
       SECURITY CLASS IS NDVR-GLOBAL
       DEFAULT SECURITY CLASS IS NDVR-DDA
       SYSTEM NAME IS system-name
       AUTO-US IS Y
       NO-SYNC IS Y
       NO-PASS IS Y
       MONITOR (SCH FIL TAS SUB USE DES REC SYS APO SET DIA
                APP ELE QFI PRC TAB FUN MOD PHY CLA ATT MAP
                LOA LIN MSG LOG LR PRO)
       AUTO-SO NONE.

Refer to the following description of the Online screen for more information on the DICTIONARY option settings.

To modify the global dictionary options using the Online facility:

Enter NDVRMIS at the Next Task Code prompt to sign on to CA Endevor/DB.

Enter 8 in the OPTION field on the Main Menu.

The Dictionary Functions menu screen displays:

This screen contains the global definition for the Dictionary displayed.

Fields are described below.

NAME: Dictionary for which the CCDB was set up.

Note: This name will change automatically if the DBNAME table entry for this dictionary is modified to a new or different name.

SYSTEM IDENTIFIER: Enter a 1-8 character value to be used to identify the system in which this dictionary resides. This identifier may represent the system's external or internal name, a node name, or a data sharing group name. The System Identifier is used with the name of the dictionary to uniquely identify the dictionary for migration oriented Change Log entries which contain identifying information relating to the destination and origin of entities that have migrated from one dictionary to the next. System Identifier should be unique across your CA IDMS environment regardless of CV, CPU, or data center.
SEC. CLASS: The Security Class associated with the Dictionary. Initially, the Dictionary is set up with NDVR-GLOBAL as a Security Class.

Note: It is recommended that this be left unaltered until a thorough understanding of the Security System is established.

The restrictions set up in the Dictionary Security Class (see Chapter 4, "Security Class Maintenance") apply to all users in the Dictionary.

To change the Dictionary Security Class, enter the new Security Class name to be used for the Dictionary.

DEFAULT USER CLASS

This is the Security Class that will be associated with users who are added using the Auto-User procedure. Initially, this is set to NDVR-DDA. The default Security Class can be changed by keying the new Security Class name desired.

ORIGINAL NAME

Not supported in this release. Leave blank.

DICTIONARY TYPE

Not supported in this release. Always = N.

LOCKED

Informational. Values are Y or N. Indicates if the Dictionary is locked.

LOCK DATE

Informational. Date the Dictionary was locked.

LOCK TIME

Informational. Time the Dictionary was locked.

AUTO-US

Values are Y or N:

Y -- Users are added automatically by CA Endevor/DB when encountered the first time.
N -- Users are not automatically added to the system.

NO-SYNC

Values are Y or N.

Y -- When signing on, the CA Endevor/DB and CA IDMS/DC userids can be different.
N -- When signing on, the CA Endevor/DB and CA IDMS/DC userids cannot be different.

NO-PASS

Values are Y or N.

Y -- When signing on, the CA Endevor/DB password is optional.
N -- When signing on, the CA Endevor/DB password is required.

ENTITY

The three-character entity name abbreviations used by the CA Endevor/DB and CA IDMS/DC system for IDD entity types. They act as column headings for the next two fields.

MONITOR

Values are Y or N.

Y -- Monitor the modifications to entities of the type specified in the column heading (ENTITY:).
N -- Do not monitor or create Change Log Entries for modifications to the entity type in the column heading. When monitoring is turned off for an entity type, none of the other CA Endevor/DB attributes have significance.

AUTO-SO

Values are Y or N.

Y -- If the resultant Security Class specifies that Auto-Signout is in effect, entities of this type will be signed out automatically.
N -- Entities of this type will not be signed out automatically.
