Object Transport Utility (IDUTOTRN)

The CA Ideal Object Transport Utility (IDUTOTRN) lets you move selected CA Ideal production applications from one site to other sites for execution only. It is a stand‑alone batch job that unloads program and panel object modules from the sending site, and, in a separate step, loads them to the receiving site. All programs and panels must be in PRODUCTION status.

For sites with multiple environments (for example, test and production, each with its own MUF, Datadictionary, CICS, and VLS libraries) and with the same CA Ideal systems defined in each environment (for example, a PAYROLL system in both the test and production environments), enqueuing conflicts can occur. To avoid enqueuing problems, you can specify the QCODE parameter in the SCF options block which results in unique enqueue names between environments. See the appropriate CA IPC Installation Guide for cautions when using this option.

This section describes how to use the Object Transport Utility and transported programs, panels, and for DB2 sites, plans and packages; the control statements and JCL needed to run the utility; and sample output.
