With Workload Automation CA 7 12.1 installed in the environment, what kind of information is being written in CA Datacom Datadictionary
and the directory file CXX?
How often should a backup be taken?
Release : 15.1
Component : CA Datacom/AD
CA 7 12.1
We explain in CA Datacom Datadictionary what this Datadictionary is ( databases with DBID 2 and 15) and when the directory file (CXX) is being updated.
Copying in here:
CA 7 jobs AL2DCA20, AL2DCA30 and AL2DCA40 running DDUPDATE modify Datadictionary..
DDRTVCAT ,executed in AL2DCA30 ,catalogs the CA 7 data base structure found in Datadictionary to the CXX.
The CXX contains the definition of the CA 7 data base in compressed format . Datacom cannot function without a valid CXX.
DDTRSLM updates both Datadictionary and the CXX when importing CA 7 table structures.
DDTRSLM runs in AL2DCA40 and AL2DCA70.
Backup of the CXX and Datadictionary should be run after the initial CA 7 installation and before/after running the HOLD ACTION of any CA 7 PTF for which a rerun of a CA 7 installation job is required.
This is what CA 7 recommends to do : Data Dictionary Backup
