Usage

Input

Input to the IDMSDIRL utility consists of:

• The file containing the definitions to be loaded. This file is supplied on the CA IDMS/DB installation media.
• Optional statements to control the utility processing.

  Each of these statements must be coded on a separate line beginning in column 1.

  There is no end-of-statement terminator for these statements.

Output

The IDMSDIRL utility generates a message listing.

Batch operating mode

You can execute the IDMSDIRL utility either in local mode or under the central version. Local mode is recommended.

When to use IDMSDIRL

IDMSDIRL is typically used to load one data dictionary at a site.

The data dictionary is used by the following CA products:

• CA OLQ, when reporting on the dictionary
• CA Culprit, when producing one of the following reports:
  • CA ADS reports (AReports)
  • System generation reports (CReports)
  • IDD reports (DReports)

Performance consideration for SCHEMA-CONNECT

When reporting on the dictionary, the IDMSRPTS utility walks the OOAK-S set, if you specify SCHEMA=ALL. If the CA-supplied internal schemas are connected to the OOAK-S set, the reports will include all components of these schemas. Excluding the CA-supplied internal schemas from the OOAK-S set allows IDMSRPTS to bypass these components.
