A DDUPDATE job is executed in order to re-define HUMAN-RESOURCE sample database structure in CA DataDictionary, but it fails and returns the following error message:
FUNCTION = ADD ALIAS
NAME = HUMAN-AREA-A1
**** ERROR **** RETURN CODE = DDPAL10001 DUPLICATE ALIAS FOR ENTITY-TYPE
DUPLICATE ALIAS, NAME= PEOPLE
VERSION= 0001
while adding an ALIAS entry (HUMAN-AREA-A1) for PERSONNEL AREA
Release: 15.1
Component: DataDictionary
HUMAN-AREA-A1 was also the ALIAS for a very old AREA, named PEOPLE, that existed in the HUMAN-RESOURCE database before CA Datacom 9.0; this area should no longer exist in CA DataDictionary, and it is assumed that it has been already deleted by previous upgrade processes that recreated the sample database.
First run a DDUPDATE or DDUTILTY with the following cards to have a list of all the versions of PEOPLE area:
-RPT INDEX,AREA,PEOPLE
-END
Then delete the history version(s) of that area using these cards via DDUPDATE:
-DEL AREA,PEOPLE(nnn,psw,PRIV)
-END
The above password is usually HR11.
