CTBDBCP – Increase Size of a Database FileLink copied to clipboard

This utility copies the contents of a specified source file to a specified target file. All relevant aspects of the file are copied, including (pointers to) variable definitions, variable generations, and group information.

The sizes of the source and target files can differ. Therefore, the CTBDBCP utility is useful for increasing the size of a file. Usually, this utility copies data from a source file to a larger target file.

Copying a file is composed of the following stages:

• Create and format a new file (target file).

• Copy the data from the source file to the newly created target file.

• Delete the source file.

The CTBDBVCP utility can modify all Control-M/Analyzer database files simultaneously. However, the CTBDBCP utility is more efficient than the CTBDBVCP utility when modifying a single file.

CTBDBCP ParametersLink copied to clipboard

The following parameters must be specified in the EXEC statement that invokes the CTBDBCP JCL procedure:

Table 168 CTBDBCP Parameters

Procedure CTBDBCPLink copied to clipboard

Member CTBDBCP of the IOA PROCLIB library contains a procedure that calls a series of programs to automatically enlarge a database file. The following explanation assumes that the name of the file that needs to be enlarged is ...GRPD. Before using this procedure, perform the following steps:

1. Rename the source input file from ...GRPD... to ...GRPD...OLD. For example, rename file CTB.V600.GRPD.E000 to CTB.V600.GRPD.E000.OLD

2. If DUAL is set to Y (Yes) in member DEFGRPD in the INSTWORK library, rename file CTB.V600.GRPD.D000 to CTB.V600.GRPD.D000.OLD.

3. Modify member DEFGRPD in the INSTWORK library by increasing the space allocated for the file.

4. Run the job in member JOBFGRP of the CTB.V6xx.JCL library.

When the procedure described above is called, the following actions are performed:

1. Program IOADBF formats a new pre-allocated IOA Access Method output file.

2. Program CTBDBCP copies data from the input file to the output file.

3. Program IOADIG verifies the integrity of the output file data component.

4. Program IOADBF reformats the existing index component for the file.

5. Program IOADIB rebuilds the index component.

6. Program IOADPT prints index and data component control records to the output file.

For additional information, see sample member JDBCP in the JCL library.

CTBDBIB – Rebuild a Control-M/Analyzer Index FileLink copied to clipboard

The CTBDBIB utility rebuilds index files for various Control-M/Analyzer data files. The new index files correspond to information contained in the data files.

This utility rebuilds the indexes of a specific data file.

This utility is used

• When the space remaining for the existing index file is insufficient. In this case

Delete the index file.

Redefine the index file with the required amount of space.

Format the index file with the IOADBF utility.

Rebuild the index file with the CTBDBIB utility.

• In case of index file integrity problems: Index file integrity problems can be detected using the IOADII utility, described later in this guide.

• In case of data file integrity problems: Correct the data file and re-index it with the CTBDBIB utility to reproduce the corresponding index file.

CTBDBIB ParameterLink copied to clipboard

The following parameter can be specified in the EXEC statement that invokes the CTBDBIB JCL procedure:

The CTBDBIB utility is used by the following jobs in the JCL library. For additional examples, see the following jobs:

Table 174 CTBDBIB Jobs

CTBDBVCG – Change Number of Variable GenerationsLink copied to clipboard

The CTBDBVCG utility changes the maximum number of generations specified for one or more database variables. It is useful whenever the number of generations must be changed but is most often used when changing the status (mode) of variables from test to production. The utility can be invoked in batch mode as described in "Activating the Utility."

The number of generations to be retained in the database can be increased or decreased. The content of existing variable generations can be retained or deleted. All other relevant aspects of the variables are retained, including definitions and group information.

It is possible to change the number of generations of all variables, groups of variables (with a common group name prefix), or one or more variables of the same group (with a common variable name prefix) in one activation of the CTBDBVCG utility.

CTBDBVCG ParametersLink copied to clipboard

The following parameters can be specified in the EXEC statement that invokes the CTBDBVCG JCL procedure. These parameters dynamically specify source (input) file names and indicate whether the current content of existing generations must be retained or deleted.

CTBDBVCP – Copy Variables or Groups to another FileLink copied to clipboard

The CTBDBVCP utility copies the contents of specified group or variable files (meaning, data from source files) to another set of group or variable files (meaning, target files). All relevant aspects of the variables are copied, including definitions, generations and group information.

The sizes of the source and target files can differ. Therefore, the CTBDBVCP utility is useful for increasing the size of variable files. Usually, this utility copies variables from source files to larger target files.

Copying variables is composed of the following stages:

• Create and format a new set of group or variable files (target files).

• Copy the data from the source files to the newly created target group or variable files.

• Delete the source files.

It is possible to copy all variables, groups of variables (with a common group name prefix), or one or more variables of the same group (with a common variable name prefix) in one activation of the CTBDBVCP utility.

CTBDBVCP ParametersLink copied to clipboard

The following parameters can be specified in the EXEC statement that invokes the CTBDBVCP JCL procedure. These parameters dynamically specify the prefix of the third qualifier for the source and destination files listed below:
