Creating a Selection Criteria Specification

After you have named the source subschema, you must specify the selection criteria CA IDMS Extractor will use to extract the target database. This may include:

• Selecting particular areas/records/fields/sets
• Limiting the selection of a record type to a specific FROM/TO page range
• Selecting a record by field value(s)
• Selecting a record by direct DBKEY
• Selecting a group of records within a specified page range, beginning with the first record occurrence within the range
• Selecting a group of records within a specified page range beginning with the nth occurrence within the range
• Skipping a specified number of records before selecting the next record occurrence
• Specifying the number of levels to be extracted in a bill-of-materials structure
• Specifying whether you want to extract all owners of extracted recursive records
• Limiting the total number of records selected by record type
• Limiting the number of records selected in each set occurrence
