- On the AppMaster Builder desktop in any View, click
Admin > DDI File Utilities. If the
Administration dialog box appears, enter your password and click
OK.
- Click any of the following from the fly-out menu:
- Unlock to unlock the DDI file, by removing any
Create or Update locks placed in an entity. Unlock also deletes incomplete
entitles created during DDI loading.
- Backup to copy the DDIFILE, via a DOS COPY, to
an OS sequential data set.
- Restore to copy the backup data set to the
DDIFILE.
- Reorganize to convert the binary portion of the
PC DDIFILE-KEY to the same binary storage format used on the mainframe. If you
have DBDs, PSBs or VSAM sources that are large or need to be loaded frequently,
it may be necessary to run this utility (i.e., especially if you begin to get
DDI-1024 errors).
- AppMaster Builder immediately executes the process.
Note:
The Reorganize utility is for DDI files used on the PC only; it is not
applicable for the z/OS DDIFILE. A copy of your unconverted DDIFILE is created
and saved under the name DDIUNCNV in case execution errors occur during the
Reorganization process.
