QUESTION:
What is the DELTA PLUS XREF Feature?
ANSWER:
What is the DELTA PLUS XREF Feature?
-
a report for a program of all databases that are referenced, explicitly or implicitly, by that program
-
a report sorted by database of all programs that reference each database
-
a report sorted by database of all programs that logically (or as an index) reference each database, or any databases that are related to that database
-
a report sorted by database of the AREAs that are referenced by each database (DEDBs only)
-
a report for a randomizer of all databases that use the randomizer routine
-
a report for a compression routine of all databases that use the compression routine
-
a report for a transaction of all databases that are used by that transaction
-
a report for a database of all transactions that use the database
IMS system programmers and DBAs can use the DELTA PLUS XREF feature to facilitate the administration of IMS systems by keeping an inventory of the IMS environment. In the event of recovery situations, such as a broken database, it allows the user to determine everything that will be affected when the broken database is taken offline. The user can display the IMS components and verify the effect of the changes.
This feature can also be executed in batch.
The following sample command will display the databases that reference the named randomizer:
/DIS DLP XREF RAND DFSHDC40
The following sample output should display:
RANDNAME - DMBS THAT USE THE RANDOMIZER DFSHDC40 - DBFSAMD4 IVPDB2 *99084/125316*
The following sample command will display the PSBs that reference the named database:
/DIS DLP XREF DB DI21PART RELPSB
The following sample output should display:
DMB NAME - PSBS THAT REFERENCE THE DMB DI21PART - BMPAOI2 BMP002 BMP004 DFHSAM04 DFHSAM05 DFHSAM14 DFHSAM15 DFHSAM24 DFHSAM25 DFSSAM01 DFSSAM02 DFSSAM03 DFSSAM04 DFSSAM05 DFSSAM06 DFSSAM07 DFSSAM08 DFSSAM09 QCONV2 TESTWTOR *99084/130604*
The following sample command will display the referenced databases for the named PSB:
/DIS DLP XREF PSB DFSSAM02 RELDMB
The following sample output should display:
PSB NAME - REFERENCED DMBS DFSSAM02 - DI21PART *99084/131100*
The following sample command will display the databases used by the named TRAN:
/DIS DLP XREF TRAN PART RELDMB
The following sample output should display:
TRANNAME - DMBS USED BY TRANSACTION PART - DI21PART *99084/131100*
The following sample command will display the TRANs that use the named database:
/DIS DLP XREF DB DI21PART RELTRAN
The following sample output should display:
DMB NAME - TRANSACTIONS THAT USE THE DATABASE DI21PART - PART DSPINV ADDINV *99084/130604*
