- On the AppMaster Builder desktop in any View, click
Admin > DDI File Utilities.
- Click any of the following from the context 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, via a DOS COPY, 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 imported 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.
