Enhancements and Benefits
The following information provides an overview of the enhancements for the core set of CA Datacom products. For more information, see the PDCs, PTFs, and scenarios available through CA Support online and also on the CA Datacom Version 14.02 bookshelf.

SQL plan versioning provides a simple way to have multiple versions of a plan in a single environment by using the @TIMESTAMP value. For example, you can generate plans that include a date/timestamp YYMMDDHHMM:
COBOL only
Plan name = program idYYMMDDHHMM
Plan name = valueYYMMDDHHMM
The same as PLANAME=
Benefits
Alleviates the requirement that the plan and load module must be loaded into an environment at the same time. With versioning the plan can be preloaded and is available when the load module is activated.
For more information and examples, see the SQL User Guide.
Online Fast Compress supports requirements of continuous 24x7 operations. Table Alter 24 (TA24) provides the ability to dynamically implement data compression without interrupting user access. TA24 uses some existing processed that are available to Datadictionary. The following attributes can be modified:
For more information about this enhancement, see the article about Using Table Alter 24 located on the 14.02 bookshelf,
Benefit
Provides the ability to implement high-speed (zIIP enabled) compression without interrupting user access. Functionality can seamlessly convert non-CA compressed tables to CA compressed tables as necessary.
The EXCEPTION_FOR_JOBNAME command supports sites utilizing the Change Data Capture (CDC) facility to move changes from one Datacom MUF to another. This enhancement is targeted for CDC Active-Standby or Active-Query environments. However, it can be used for other situations where the actions provided are needed.
This command replaces the existing CDC processing option "CDC_EXCLUDE_JOBNAME" which permitted CDC users to exclude one job name from change capture by CDC.
The Fast ADDIT and High Used Mark enhancements provide built-in process intelligence that improves performance for physical processing.
Benefits
Provides significant data variations and a performance boost by automatically detecting key physical attributes and applying them to your requested process.
The Data Area Space Optimization (DSOP) strategy governs the overall placement of the data rows. CA Datacom uses this uniquely designed space optimization process to find unused space in existing data area blocks to store new data rows. This space optimization is designed to maintain the density of rows that are stored in data area blocks. Processing performance is improved while maintaining the minimal number of in-use data blocks.
This enhancement was created to avoid certain long running row adds. These long running row adds can occur when a larger than normal data row is added to a data area. This happens when the area has a significant number of available partially used data blocks with a smaller amount of free space.
For more information:
The RETIX KEYNAME=*DTHU enhancement allows you to enable the High Used Mark in the CXX. You can set the value for a selected data area without requiring the data access interruption.
For more information about how to enable the High Used Mark in the CXX, see:
Benefits
Provides significant data variations including:
The Online Area Move (OAM) functionality allows you to move datasets to support your business needs without causing outages to your users. Two new scenarios are available with this release:
Provides information and steps on how to move System Area CXX datasets from one physical 3390 dataset to another 3390 dataset while the areas are open by MUF.
Provides the rules, characteristics, and steps for performing n Online Area Move for the Log Area FXX.
Note: Before performing an OAM for a CXX or FXX, read the following scenarios located on the bookshelf:
The Index Queue is used to make changes to the IXX which balances the index for optimal performance. Most Index Queue requests are short in duration but there are times when the balancing is complex and must take both more time and IOs. Prior to this enhancement, a QUIESCE request had to wait for an active Index Queue request to complete before the QUIESCE took effect. With this enhancement the QUIESCE interrupts an active Index Queue request. The Index Queue request resumes once a QUIESCE OFF is issued
Benefit
This enhancement allows a QUIESCE to take effect even if there is a long running Index Queue request.
