Why JCL Needs To Be Converted

When a dictionary is monitored by CA Endevor/DB, dictionary updates are identified and assigned to users and/or CCIDs. When executing batch dictionary updates, CA Endevor/DB's NDVRBOOK program identifies the CA Endevor/DB user and/or CCIDs to validate and assign the updates. Instead of specifying the dictionary update utility on the EXEC statement in your JCL, specify NDVRBOOK. An input NDVRIPT file contains control statements for NDVRBOOK, specifying the particular user to whom the updates are to be credited and the dictionary update utility to invoke. When executed, NDVRBOOK passes this user identification to CA Endevor/DB's Security System/Change Monitor and then loads and passes control to the dictionary update utility. The subsequent dictionary updates are assigned to the user and/or CCIDs specified to NDVRBOOK.
