Syntax Rules

The rules pertaining to each clause in the syntax are listed as follows.

DICtname is dictname

The dictname value for the dictionary must be the same as the CA IDMS DBName Table entry defining the CCDB/dictionary pair. This is the dictname to be specified in the SIGNON command.

SYStem name is system-name

The system name is used to uniquely identify the dictionary for migration record keeping purposes. Refer to Chapter 1 or the CA Endevor/DB for CA IDMS Administrator Guide for more information on establishing a system name.

SECurity class is security-class

Identifies the Security Class assigned to the dictionary descriptor. For MODIFY commands, if specified, the Security Class must already exist in the CCDB.

Initially, the Dictionary is set up with the NDVR-GLOBAL Security Class. It is recommended that this be left unaltered until a thorough understanding of the Security System is mastered.

DEFault SECurity class is security-class

Identifies the default security class to be associated with users who are added via the Automatic User (AUTO-US) procedure. Initially, this is set to NDVR-DDA. For MODIFY commands, if specified the Security Class must already exist in the CCDB.

AUTO-Us is

Identifies the automatic actions to be taken when new users access CA Endevor/DB:

Y—New users are automatically added by CA Endevor/DB when encountered for the first time.

N—New users must be manually added to CA Endevor/DB before the users will be able to sign on.

NO-Sync is

Establishes synchronization enforcement between CA IDMS/DC and CA Endevor/DB userids.

Y—Synchronization will not be enforced.

N—Synchronization will be enforced. CA Endevor/DB will require that the userids must match.

NO-Pass is

Identifies password specification requirements for signing on to CA Endevor/DB.

Y—Entering a password is optional.

N—Entering a password is required.

MONitor is

Identifies the CA IDD entity types to be monitored by CA Endevor/DB. On a MODIFY command, this clause replaces the monitor options stored in the CCDB's dictionary descriptor.

NONE—No entity-types are to be monitored.

( idd-entity-type(s) )—The idd-entity-types specified, and only those specified, are to be monitored. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the entity types that can be monitored by CA Endevor/DB. See the following Usage for additional information.

AUTO-SO is

Identifies the requirements for automatic signout of monitored CA IDD entity occurrence when modified. On a MODIFY command, this clause replaces the auto-signout options stored in the CCDB's dictionary descriptor.

NOTE-CA Endevor/DB will not automatically signout any entity occurrence.

( idd-entity-type(s) )—CA Endevor/DB will automatically signout entities of the identified CA IDD entity types when modified to the user performing the modification. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the entity types that can be automatically signed out by CA Endevor/DB. See the following Usage for additional information.

COMment is 'comment-text'

A 1 to 60-character, user-defined remark for the dictionary descriptor.
