Creating the Control-D History User File

This part of the conversion process creates the History User file in the Control‑D environment to facilitate access to reports archived by CA-View. Thus, reports created by CA-View can be restored in the Control‑D environment from the original tapes backed up by CA-View. If the reports on the original CA-View archive tape are compressed, use the SARPAC utility to unpack them before restoring.

The CA-View archived report can be restored directly from the CA-View archive tape according to the user’s online restore request. For this purpose, the special CTDX004 exit and SARSKL skeleton, described below, are used.

Alternate method is to restore all reports from the CA-View archive tape once by the utility CTDSARRS and then backup or migrate them using Control-D and Control-V tools. This method is recommended if the CA-View archive tapes are large and restoring the reports directly from the tapes would take an unacceptable amount of time. The utility CTDSARRS is described in the appendix B.
