To resolve a problem in Datacom 15.1 active upgrade job BDACTDD2 we were asked to perform the HOLD ACTION of PTF RO98231 which is a DDUPDATE DELETE of AREA UNIVERSAL and DATABASE UNIVERSAL.
After running a successful delete , the UNIVERSAL FILE/RECORD and FIELDS are all gone.
Release : 15.1
Component : DATACOM DATADICTIONARY
1.Restore the Datacom 14.0 backup.
2.Run DDUTILTY with SYSIN cards:
-USR DATACOM-INSTALL,NEWUSER
-DEF PATH,STANDARD
-END
-RPT START,DATABASE,UNIVERSAL(T000),STANDARD
-RPT INDENTED
-END
3.If the report shows FILE UNIVERSAL, RECORD UNIVERSAL, and all the UNIVERSAL FIELDS then go to step 4.
If not, then go to step 5.
4.Run DDUPDATE with SYSIN cards :
-USR DATACOM-INSTALL,NEWUSER
-UPD AREA,UNIVERSAL(000)
1003 UNRL,FILE,UNIVERSAL(000),$INTERNAL
-END
5.Run DDUPDATE to delete AREA UNIVERSAL and DATABASE UNIVERSAL as mentioned in the HOLD ACTION.
