CTVACDB Parameters

The required and optional CTVACDB parameters are described in Table 285 and Table 286. Table 287 below describes how combinations of parameter values influence CTVACDB utility functionality.

Table 285 CTVACDB EXEC-statement Parameters

Parameter	Description
MODE	(optional) Determines whether the CTVACDB utility is run in Production mode or Simulation (Test) mode. BMC recommends that you run the utility in Simulation mode before running it in Production mode. TEST—(default) the utility runs in Simulation mode, performing analysis and reporting, but not changing the ACD data. PROD—the utility runs in Production mode, correcting or cleaning ACD data in the SYSDATA and Index records.
FUNCTION	REPAIR—(default) checks ACD data for the data sets specified by the DSN or the VOL parameter. In PROD mode, the utility also repairs incorrect ACD data in the SYSDATA and INDEX records for these data sets. CLEAN—in PROD mode, the utility cleans ACD data in the SYSDATA or INDEX records for the data sets specified by the DSN or the VOL parameter. In TEST mode, the utility lists the data sets that will be cleaned if run in PROD mode.

Parameter

Description

MODE

(optional) Determines whether the CTVACDB utility is run in Production mode or Simulation (Test) mode. BMC recommends that you run the utility in Simulation mode before running it in Production mode.

TEST—(default) the utility runs in Simulation mode, performing analysis and reporting, but not changing the ACD data.
PROD—the utility runs in Production mode, correcting or cleaning ACD data in the SYSDATA and Index records.

FUNCTION

REPAIR—(default) checks ACD data for the data sets specified by the DSN or the VOL parameter. In PROD mode, the utility also repairs incorrect ACD data in the SYSDATA and INDEX records for these data sets.

CLEAN—in PROD mode, the utility cleans ACD data in the SYSDATA or INDEX records for the data sets specified by the DSN or the VOL parameter. In TEST mode, the utility lists the data sets that will be cleaned if run in PROD mode.

The SYSIN DD steam parameters in Table 286 specify data sets or volume of the migrated CDAM or Index file. You must specify either DSN or VOL.

Table 286 CTVACDB SYSIN DD Parameters

Parameter	Description
DSN	The data set for which the utility checks, repairs, or cleans ACD data. If FUNCTION=REPAIR, all data sets on that volume are processed.
VOL	The volume on which the utility checks, repairs, or cleans ACD data for all migrated CDAM/Index files.

Table 287 describes how various combinations of parameter values influence CTVACDB functionality.

Table 287 CTVACDB Parameter Combinations

MODE	FUNCTION	DSN / VOL	Description
TEST	REPAIR	VOL	The utility scans all data sets on the volume and checks the ACD data in the SYSDATA and Index records for all data sets on that volume.
TEST	REPAIR	DSN	The utility scans all data sets on the volume on which DSN is located, and checks the ACD data in the SYSDATA and Index records for all data sets on that volume.
TEST	CLEAN	VOL	The utility lists all of the data sets on the volume. These are the data sets that will be cleaned if run in MODE=PROD.
TEST	CLEAN	DSN	The utility returns DSN. This is the data set that will be cleaned if run in MODE=PROD.
PROD	REPAIR	VOL	The utility scans all data sets on the volume. It checks the ACD data in the SYSDATA and Index records for all data sets on that volume, and repairs all incorrect ACD data for those data sets.
PROD	REPAIR	DSN	The utility scans all data sets on the volume on which DSN is located. It checks the ACD data in the SYSDATA and Index records for all data sets on that volume, and repairs all incorrect ACD data for those data sets.
PROD	CLEAN	VOL	The utility cleans the ACD data stored in the SYSDATA and Index records for all data sets on the volume.
PROD	CLEAN	DSN	The utility cleans the ACD data stored in the SYSDATA and Index records only for the data set specified by DSN.
