MDDTLDESCRIBE Command

The MDDTLDESCRIBE command reports metadata for maps, schemas, tables, and columns in hierarchical format or reports metadata for files. If the report output is large, you can filter it by access method or by one or more schema, map, table, or file name masks. The report output is written to a text file on Windows, which is useful for diagnosing problems.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

PWXUMAP COMMAND=MDDTLDESCRIBE
TYPE={MD}
OUTPUT_FILE=file_name
LOCATION={node_name|local} 
MDDESCRIBETYPE=metadata_type
[UID=user_name]
[PWD=password|EPWD=encrypted_password]  
[AMLIST=access_method_code]
[FILEMASK=file_name_mask**]
[MAPMASK=map_name_mask] 
[PACESIZE=n]
[RETLOGINFOMSG={Y|N}]
[SCHEMAMASK=schema__name_mask] 
[TABLEMASK=table_name_mask]

Parameters

The following parameters are specific to this command:

FILEMASK=file-name mask**: Use a file-name mask, or pattern, to filter files or partitioned data set members when the MDDESCRIBETYPE value is set to MDFILES or MDMEMBERS. In the pattern, use the asterisk (*) wildcard to represent last part of the file names. For files on z/OS, end the pattern with two asterisk (**) wildcards. The pattern is matched against file or member names.
Informatica recommends that you specify this parameter to limit the number of files for which metadata is returned.
MDDESCRIBETYPE=metadata_type: The metadata to include in the report. Only one option can be specified for the MDDESCRIBETYPE parameter. Options are:
ALL
. Include all types of metadata except the MDFILES and MDMEMBERS types.
MDFILES
. Include metadata for files.
MDIMPORT
. Include metadata for schemas, data maps, tables or records, and columns containing additional map information.
MDMAPS
. Include metadata for schemas and data maps, in two-level hierarchical format.
MDMEMBERS
. Include metadata for members of partitioned data sets on z/OS.
MDOBJECTINFO
. Include metadata for schemas, data maps, tables, and columns, in four-level hierarchical format.
MDSCHEMAS
. Include metadata for schemas in a list.
MDSCHEMAINFO
. Include metadata for schemas, data maps, and tables, in three-level hierarchical format.

No default is provided.

If you use the MDIMPORT, MDMAPS, MDOBJECTINFO, or MDSCHEMAS option and expect the command to return a large number of maps, schemas, or columns, you can use the AMLIST option or one or more of the MAPMASK, SCHEMAMASK, or TABLEMASK options to filter the report results and improve utility performance.

If you use the MDFILES or MDMEMBERS option, Informatica recommends that you use the FILEMASK option to limit the number of files processed to a reasonable amount.
RETLOGINFOMSG={ Y |N}: Specifies whether to include messages from the detail message log in the report. Options are:
Y
. Include logged messages.
N
. Do not include logged messages.

Default is
Y
.
