Issue/Introduction
What is the purpose of DDSDCLM, when should I use it and which release should I use?
Environment
Datacom/DB
Datacom/AD
Resolution
NOTE: Datacom/AD customers do not typically need to run DDSDCLM for an upgrade, but should run this as directed by Broadcom Support.
DDSDCLM produces a report showing the differences between a selected Datadictionary and an expected model for that same release.
Using DDSDCLM for different versions of Datacom/DB:
- Datacom/DB 12.0: If you are Datacom/DB 12.0 and upgrading to 14.0 then execute the DDSDCLM report against your Data Dictionary 12.0 using DDSDCLM 12.0. Prior to execution, you may need to install any existing PTFs related to DDSDCLM. To run this report, locate and modify member ADSDC12 in your.datacom.INSTJCL 14.0 PDS
- Datacom/DB 14.0: If you are Datacom/DB 14.0 and upgrading to 15.1 then execute the DDSDCLM report against your Data Dictionary 14.0 using DDSDCLM 14.0. Prior to execution, you may need to install any existing PTFs related to DDSDCLM. To run this report, locate and modify member ADSDC14 in your.datacom.INSTJCL 15.1 PDS
- Datacom/DB 15.0: There are no Datadictionary changes from Datacom/DB 15.0 to 15.1 so you do not need to run DDSDCLM
Additional Information
Note: There are a number of solutions that are required to be applied to your 12.0 environment prior to upgrading from 12.0 to 14.0 as well as 14.0 to 15.1. They affect execution of DDSDCLM before beginning the upgrade and facilitate possible fallback. The solutions can be found in the README's down below
