Adapt References to Copy Codes and Data Areas

If the database or file number of a user system file is changed by an Adabas utility or if a program using copy codes or data areas has been copied to a different environment, the references to copy codes and data areas in the XRef data still point to the environment used for compilation.

This function adapts the references so that the XRef data look as if the programs were cataloged in the new environment. It also checks whether the data areas or copy codes exist in the new location and if it can uniquely identify the object by which the old reference should be replaced.

The Adapt References to Copy Codes and Data Areas function is invoked with code C in the Special Functions menu or with the command SPECIAL ADAPT.

Warning: This function can destroy large amounts of data. We strongly recommend to make this function available to the DBA only. Furthermore, user exits are not possible for this function.

Notes:

1. It is possible that a large number of records is read and updated with this function. We therefore recommend running it in batch mode. See Adapt References to Copy Codes and Data Areas in Batch Mode
2. If a database and/or file number has been changed, the special function Reposition Implementation Data must also be executed.

This section covers the following topics:
