Summary of CWDDALLU utility commands


The following is a list and brief description of the commands available for the CWDDALLU batch file utility. Each command is discussed in detail later in this section.

Command

Description

ATTACH

Reconnects a detached database to a shared directory.

CHANGE

Changes the auto-delete characteristic for a database, changes or sets the AUTOLOCKMAX and/or DUPMAX source duplicate-control parameters in the shared directory, or changes the attributes of a DBMODEL previously created.

CONVERT

Converts a standard source or report DDIO file to a database format and connects it to a shared directory.

COPY

Copies entries from one shared directory, database, or source or report file to another shared directory, database, or source or report file.

CREATE

Allocates and formats a shared directory or database file. May also be used to format a pre-allocated shared directory or database file. For source databases or shared directories, creates a DBMODEL entry in the shared directory that will be used in conjunction with the new dynamic Source Listing Database create feature (DYNCREATE).

DELETE

Deletes a shared directory file, database file, report or source file, or member entries in any of those, or a DBMODEL entry.

DETACH

Disconnects a database file from a shared directory.

DIRECTORY

Lists the entries in a shared directory, database or source or report file.

DIRI

Provides information on current parameter setting and file statistics.  It is a useful tool to determine the size of DDIO files, databases, shared directory for source listing and abend-aid reports.

DIRS

Lists the directory entries in a sequential file that was produced by the EXPORT command.

DIRX

Reports on the characteristics of a shared directory, a database, or a report or source file, and on the characteristics of all entries in the file. A shared directory report includes information on all databases attached to the shared directory.

ESTIMATE

Calculates the number of blocks to allocate for a shared directory when the allocation is performed outside of CSS.

EXAMINE

Reads, analyzes, and optionally repairs the selected shared directory. Optionally deletes incomplete members in the shared directory and attached databases (if DELETEIC is specified).

EXPAND

Resizes an existing shared directory's space allocation and/or CISIZE.

EXPORT

Copies entries from a shared directory, a database, or a source or report file, to a sequential file, from which they can later be restored into the same or another shared directory, database, or source or report file, using the IMPORT command.

FLAG

Marks changed lines of a source listing with text of your choice, based on comparing the source listing to another listing for the same program.

FORMAT

Initially formats a pre-allocated VSAM or BDAM file to be a source file or a report file.

IMPORT

Restores previously exported entries from a sequential data set.

LOCK

Locks selected entries of a shared directory, database, or source report file, so entries cannot be automatically deleted when the file becomes full.

MOVE

Copies entries from one shared directory, database, or source or report file to another shared directory, database, or source or report file, and deletes them from the From file only if they were successfully copied.

PRINT

Prints a single source member from a source listing Database, shared directory, or a source file, or prints a DBMODEL's specifications. Also prints an abend report created by BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID, optionally adding source information from source file, source database or shared directory.

REFRESH

Adjusts the number of duplicate source listing members within the shared directory, as well as providing a way to adjust the number of autolocked (L) source members at the shared directory level, during a single execution.

RESET

Disconnects a database from a shared directory when the shared directory is lost or damaged.

SCRATCH

Removes the entries in a shared directory for a database that has been lost or damaged.

TEST

Allows a test create and format of a Source Listing Database as specified in the DBMODEL used for the dynamic source database create feature (DYNCREATE). The file will not be attached to the shared directory.

UNCONVERT

Detaches a Source Listing Database or Abend-AID Report Database from its shared directory and then converts it back to a standard DDIO source listing or report file format. Long-name members will still be in the converted DDIO source listing file, but will not correctly identify themselves and will not be usable.

UNLOCK

Unlocks selected entries of a shared directory, a database, or a source or report file, so they can be automatically deleted (see AUTODELETE) when the file becomes full.

VERIFY

Ensures that the information contained in a shared directory matches the information contained in its databases. This command produces a report that lists any inconsistencies.
