Active Enforcement Exit Processing--Batch

Dictionary updates for batch jobs (central version or local mode runs) is based on PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE specifications made through the online definition and maintenance system.

Dictionary updates are allowed or not allowed based on the template's severity level and the PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE error level specifications (I--Informational, W--Warning, or E--Error). For more information about these specifications, Environment Utilities Screen.

If the best-fit template's severity level has PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE enabled, dictionary update is not allowed. If PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE is not enabled, dictionary update is allowed.

CA IDMS Enforcer directs further CA IDMS Batch Utility processing by returning one of these codes:

• 8 —. PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE enabled and the attempted entity name occurrence does not match templates for that entity. *+ E CA IDMS Batch Utility message-type is generated for this error level.
• 4 —. PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE disabled and the attempted entity name occurrence does not match templates for that entity. *+ W CA IDMS Batch Utility message-type is generated for this error level.
• 1 —. PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE enabled or disabled and enforcement passed due to a subordinate template (other than first). *+ I CA IDMS Batch Utility message-type is generated for this error level.
• 0 —. PREVENT DICTIONARY UPDATE enabled or disabled and the attempted entity name occurrence matched the first template encountered. No messages are generated and CA IDMS Batch Utility processing continues for this error level.
