Issue/Introduction

Question:

CA Datacom DDSDCLM utility has a Verifier Transaction. What is the purpose?

Answer:

Execution of the DDSDCLM utility Comparator Transaction (-SDC vvv,stat) is strongly recommended before upgrading CA Datacom to the next release. Starting with CA Datacom version 14.0, there is a new Verifier Transaction (-SDC VERIFY).

The Verifier Transaction process reads all occurrences of the following entity-types in the CA Datacom Datadictionary and verifies that each occurrence passes the edit requirements for the current release of the CA Datacom Datadictionary:

AREA, DATABASE, CONSTRAINT, ELEMENT, FILE, FIELD, KEY, PARTITION-COLUMN-VALUE, SYNONYM, TABLE and VIEW.

The verifier transaction is:

-SDC VERIFY

Here is partial sample output execution DDSDCLM -SDC VERIFY. Note the DDPFI20001 error being generated in this example:
