Importing a File-AID/RDX Extract Request File

When visualization of a File-AID/RDX extract request file is selected, you locate the extract request using Host Services processing for Dataset Selection.

A request is made to File-AID/RDX  to return the relationship information contained within the extract request. File-AID/RDX reads the request and formats three kinds of information to return to the Data Visualizer.

• Objects in the related thread, including excluded objects
• Unrelated objects
• Relationship information for the related thread.

The formatted information is sent to the Data Visualizer display, and no further interaction with File-AID/RDX is required.
