Extract/Load/Delete request file

File-AID/RDX uses the extract/load/delete request file to select the data to be extracted using Option 2, Extract, loaded using Option 3, Load, or deleted using Option 4, Delete. This file contains both relationship criteria and selection criteria as well as load target information. The request file can contain data for an extract only, load only, extract with continue to load, or delete only request.

The request file has the following characteristics:

File organization

Either partitioned or sequential (DSORG=PO or DSORG=PS)

Record format

Variable-blocked (RECFM=VB)

Logical record length

1004

Important

Pre-Release 4.3 extract/load request files have fixed or fixed-blocked (RECFM=F or RECFM=FB) record format. When saving a Pre-Release 4.3 request file, File-AID/RDX will issue an invalid format message. Specify a new name to save the request file in variable-blocked (RECFM=VB) format (see also Save Extract Request).

For more information about how File-AID/RDX uses this file and how it is structured, see File-AID/RDX Extract/Load/Delete Request File.

Data Visualizer

The Data Visualizer component of the BMC AMI DevX Workbench for Eclipse provides another way to view the relationship definitions in an extract request file. Refer to the BMC AMI DevX Workbench for Eclipse documentation for more information on the Data Visualizer.
