ONLINE SYSTEM PARAMETERS

Used to identify the dictionary and usage mode under which to process. The DBNAME set in this screen does not take effect outside of the CA Endevor/DB session in progress (i.e., it does not function like a DCUF SET DICTNAME command). Setting the DBNAME under CA Endevor/DB controls the dictionary processed by the online display and update system. During IDD and dictionary update compiler execution, the dictionary being modified will determine the CCDB in which Change Log Entries are recorded.

Field	Description
DBNAME	Eight-character name of the Integrated Data Dictionary and corresponding CCDB to be processed. Displayed initially as the dictionary name last set for the session, generally by DCUF or an CA IDMS compiler. If you will be using a different dictionary name, you must specify that dictionary name here.
Usage Mode	The way in which you are processing the CCDB: BROWSE - you can view CCDB data, but cannot modify it. This mode is set automatically if you do not have access to any of the MIS/Online update functions. UPDATE - you can view and update CCDB data. If you do not intend to update the CCDB, set the mode to BROWSE to protect the CCDB against unintentional revision.
