Uses for DC/UCF System Reports

DC/UCF system reports can be used to:

• Provide descriptions of executable systems and of systems that have been defined but not generated.

  DC/UCF system object reports describe executable systems (that is, systems for which GENERATE has been issued in the system generation compile); these reports access dictionary object records. DC/UCF system source reports describe systems that have been defined to the dictionary but not yet generated; these reports access dictionary source records.

  Note: For more information about source and object records, see the CA IDMS System Generation Guide.

  Because the dictionary structure includes source and object records, you can modify the system definitions without affecting the runtime definitions. The system source reports can be used to review the proposed modifications before they are implemented. Once you are satisfied with the new configuration, you can update the runtime definitions by issuing a system generation GENERATE command for any system that you want to update.

• Review the screen/data field relationships for mapping operations.
• Monitor the contents of the load area.
• Monitor the messages defined to the DDLDCMSG area of the dictionary.
