Issue/Introduction

User requirement of a migration strategy requires that a WHERE clause be added to the UNLOAD of data from a table. This information can be added in the Implode/Explode Services option of the strategy by specifying a name for the WHERE clause.

 

Environment

Release: RCM
Component: R20

Resolution

On the RC/M Implode/Explode Services screen, when updating the Strategy,  after scrolling to the right with PF11 the following will display:

In this sample, table authid1.CARS is the primary object of the migration. 

         20.0   --------- RC/M Implode/Explode Services -------- yy/mm/dd hh:mm
COMMAND ===>                                                  SCROLL ===> CSR

******************************* BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************

Under the WHERE heading, specify Y and a name for the WHERE clause...in this case the EQF is called REDCARS.

Sel C Ord Column Name           Type    ----------- Where Condition ------- AND
S     __   1 CARCOLOR           C(30)   = 'RED'
S     __   2 CARMODEL           C(64)
S     __   3 CARPRICE           D(4,2)
S     __   4 CARPOWER           D(2,0)
******************************* BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************

The Data Query Edit screen will then display on which your WHERE conditions can be specified.

The above predicate will be searching table authid1.CARS for records to unload where column CARCOLOR = 'RED' during the unload stage of the migration. 

The Analysis output would look like this:

For a model utilising PTIUNLD:

.DATA
  FILE(PTIUNLD)
SELECT  CARCOLOR , CARMODEL , CARPRICE , CARPOWER
   FROM authid1.CARS
  WHERE ( CARCOLOR = 'RED' )
  ORDER BY CARCOLOR
  FOR FETCH ONLY
  ;
  LIMIT(ALL)
.ENDDATA

For a model utilising FASTUNLOAD

.DATA
  FASTUNLOAD
   UNLDDN          SYSREC
   LIMIT           0
   OUTPUT-FORMAT   LOAD
   INPUT-FORMAT    TABLE
   VSAM-BUFFERS    80
   SORTNUM         2
   SORTDEVT        SYSDA
   ESTIMATED-ROWS  0
   SQL-ACCESS      EXTENSION
   TRUNCATE        NO
   SELECT CARCOLOR, CARMODEL, CARPRICE, CARPOWER
   FROM authid1.CARS
   NEWOBID 3
   WHERE  (  CARCOLOR  =  'RED'  )
   ORDER BY CARCOLOR
   ;
.ENDDATA

12. To create and selected extended data queries, scroll right (PF11) to view the Where field. Data queries let you specify the data to migrate.
The Where field has two prompts. The first prompt lets you create or select a new query. Valid values are as follows:
Y -- Create a new data query.
S -- Select a previously saved data query.
N -- Do not use a data query. This is the default.
Press PF3 (End) to save the strategy.
