Using the Relational Data Framework › The Relational Data Framework

The Relational Data Framework

The SQL-based Relational Data Framework provided by CA OPS/MVS stores system information used by AOF rules and automation procedures.

The CA OPS/MVS Relational Data Framework facility lets you use Structured Query Language (SQL) statements to manage the large amounts of data required by AOF rules and automation procedures. Instead of using large sets of variables, you can use the Relational Data Framework to:

• Collect data
• Organize the data into a relational table containing rows and columns of related information
• Retrieve related data by selecting it from a particular row or column
• Update data in relational tables

For reference information, see the chapter “Relational Data Framework Reference” in the Command and Function Reference.
