Bill-of-Material (BOM)
CA IDMS Extractor defines a BOM structure as one record type owning another record type through two sets, one of which has a manual connection, the other an automatic.
CA IDMS Extractor Database
The database created when CA IDMS Extractor is installed. It contains the Selection Criteria Specifications and JCL members that you save.
Communication File
File used to pass information between the CA IDMS Extractor Batch Components.
Copy Utility
CA IDMS Extractor allows you to copy saved JCL members and Selection Criteria Specifications from other CA IDMS Extractor users.
Database Entry Point
Defines the beginning of a database path. An entry point can be either a record or an index that is used to retrieve a record.
Database Extract Component
The Batch Component that accesses the source database to extract record and set information.
Database Load Component
The Batch Component that loads the target database with information extracted from the source database.
Database Path
Tells the Extract Component how to walk through your source database and look for records to be extracted that are then loaded onto your target database.
Deselection
To remove all selection criteria from the record.
Documentation Component
The Online Component that provides information about using CA IDMS Extractor screens, command syntax, PF keys, the Transfer Facility, and the Online Message Facility.
Entry Index
A type of database entry point that defines the beginning of a database path. If you tell CA IDMS Extractor to use an entry index, records are retrieved without performing an area sweep. Extraction with an entry index usually takes less time than the same path definition with an Entry Record.
Entry Record
A type of database entry point that defines the beginning of a database path. When you tell CA IDMS Extractor to use an entry record, the Extract Component sweeps the area in which the record resides in order to retrieve the record. If you specify CALC keys in the Field Level Selection Criteria for the record, however, CA IDMS Extractor performs an
OBTAIN CALC to retrieve the record.
Extract File
Contains information extracted from the source database by the Database Extract Component.
Field Level Selection Criteria
The field values and conditions that you want CA IDMS Extractor to test for when determining if a record should be extracted from the source database. For example, you can tell CA IDMS Extractor to extract a DEPT record if the DEPT-NAME field contains the value 'HISTORY'.
Hierarchical Index Selection
All records indexed by the named index are selected. The selected records are handled exactly like a hierarchical record selection.
Hierarchical Record Selection
Begins with the named record that CA IDMS Extractor marks as the entry record. All records that are members of sets owned by the entry record, do not already participate in a path, and are not indexed by an entry index, are selected in the path. All selected records that are owners of sets are subject to the same selection process as the entry record.
JCL Editor Component
The online component used to create and modify JCL members.
JCL Member Print Utility
The batch component that allows you to print a JCL member you created and saved using the JCL Editor Component.
JCL Submission Component
The online component used to submit JCL to your batch machine, and optionally, to insert parameters for the Batch Extract and Load Components of CA IDMS Extractor.
JCL Utilities Component
The online component used to copy, delete, print, and rename JCL members.
Network Index/Record Selection
Function exactly like a hierarchical selection. In addition, all owners of sets in which a selected record participates as a member are also selected.
A hierarchical selection selects all records going down in the hierarchy, whereas a network selection selects all records in the network.
Record Level Selection Criteria
The information you specify with the online Selection Criteria Specification Component that CA IDMS Extractor uses at EXTRACT time to determine if a record in the source database should be extracted.
Recursive Data Structure
A structure is considered to be recursive if a record type is retrieved by more than one set type in the same path. A Bill-of-Materials (BOM) structure is an example of a recursive data structure.
Selection Criteria Specification
The instructions that tell CA IDMS Extractor what records to extract from the source database.
Selection Criteria Specification Component
The online component used to describe the existing source database, describe the database path(s), describe Selection Criteria Specifications, and save the Specifications under a name of your choice.
Source Database
An existing database from which you extract records in order to create a new test database.
Specification Name
A name you give to the Selection Criteria Specification which is saved in the CA IDMS Extractor database.
Specification Print Utility
The batch component that allows you to print Selection Criteria Specifications that you created and saved.
Specification Utilities Component
The online component used to copy, delete, print, and rename your Selection Criteria Specifications.
Syntax File
The file used to pass appropriate CA IDMS DDDL syntax between the CA IDMS Extractor batch components, and the CA IDMS DDDL utility.
Target Database
A new or existing database that CA IDMS Extractor loads with records extracted from a source database.
User Profile Component
The online component used to tailor PF key assignments to suit your needs.
Workfile
A temporary file used by the Database Load Component. Information is saved in the Workfile between sort exits.
