Transporting Applications in Source Form

You can transport applications or individual parts of CA Ideal applications in source form or object form. This chapter describes how to transport applications in source form using the Source Transport Utility. For information on transporting applications in object form, see the chapter “Transporting Applications in Object Form.”

Source Transport Utility

The Source Transport Utility (IDUTSTRN) lets you import and export CA Ideal source code for the following entities:

Programs
Panels
Reports
Sequential file dataviews that are not modeled in Datadictionary
VSAM file dataviews
Members

It also lets you import HELP members.

The Source Transport Utility is a batch utility that you can use to:

Extract source code from one installation and load it to another
Unload source code to archive for backup and auditing purposes
Restore source selectively from external source format
Load source generated externally to CA Ideal

The Source Transport Utility cannot import or export user definitions, system definitions, and dataviews for CA Datacom/DB or DB2, or modeled sequential file dataviews.
