Infinite Drill

One of the very useful aspects of CA IDMS Visual DBA is its “infinite drill” feature, which graphically illustrates the complex relationships that exist among objects. By expanding-or drilling down through-branches in the tree, you see that nested within most new subbranches are lower-level subbranches that contain related information.

Further, combining infinite drill-down with the features described in the Changing the Tree Structure section, allows you to turn any subbranch into a root branch from which you can drill down.
