The Archive/Restore Program (CAKSARCH)

The CAKSARCH program is a multi-purpose program that performs specific CA PMA table maintenance functions, depending on the program option specified. The options include:

• Archiving or backing up definition and/or data tables (BACKUP option)
• Restoring definition and/or data tables (RESTORE option)
• Committing the Development version of CA PMA definition tables so that these definitions can be used in processing (COMMIT option)
• Copying committed definition tables to the Development version so that modifications can be made via the online facility (COPY option)

Note: All maintenance functions can be performed within a single execution of the program. When multiple options are executed in this manner, table maintenance control statements are executed in the order they are specified.

The Archive/Restore program's sole purpose is to archive specific tables used in CA PMA processing. It is not intended to replace full database backups or restores.

The next page contains a sample of the CAKSARES PROC, followed by a discussion of each program option.

If you use the CAKSARES PROC, you must customize it and either copy it to your system or user PROCLIB, or use it instream within each of the JCL members. Refer to the table on page Overview for a listing of JCL members.
