Maintaining System Definitions

Use the following CA Ideal commands to display, maintain, print, copy, and list existing systems. For detailed information about these commands, see the Command Reference Guide.

CREATE SYSTEM

Displays a fill-in panel that creates a system definition in the dictionary.

EDIT/DISPLAY SYSTEM

Displays an existing system definition and makes it the current CA Ideal entity.

PRINT SYSTEM

Prints a specific system definition.

DELETE SYSTEM

Deletes a system definition that is in history or test status. Production-status system definitions must be marked to history status before they can be deleted.

MARK STATUS SYSTEM

Marks a system definition's status to production or history. A system definition must be in production status before users can select it.

DUPLICATE SYSTEM

Copies an existing system definition to the next version. The new version of the system definition becomes the current system definition. The system definition fill-in displays for modification. You can modify the new system definitions long as the status is test. Until the new definition is modified, the newly created version is identical to the previous version, including the name.

Note: You cannot copy a system definition to a new name with the DUPLICATE SYSTEM command.

DISPLAY INDEX SYSTEM

Lists the name and status of each system definition currently in the dictionary facility. Optionally, the index can include occurrences of entity-types that are related to a given system).

Note: Ignore system names that are prefixed with the characters DD-. They are not available as CA Ideal systems.
