Manage Objects Using Drag-and-Drop

In addition to presenting the database environment in a graphical format, CA IDMS Visual DBA provides the ability to copy object definitions from one subbranch or from the Detail Information Pane to any other subbranch that has objects of the same type. This includes copying definitions from one CA IDMS central version or system to another.

You simply select an object or group of objects in the same subbranch or in the Detail Information Pane, and then drag-and-drop it to the target database. CA IDMS Visual DBA does the appropriate copy and verifies that any integrities involved in the entities are properly maintained.

Using drag-and-drop technique greatly simplifies tasks like test and production database maintenance.
