DTLDESCRIBE Command

DTLDESCRIBE Command

The DTLDESCRIBE command returns CAPXRT or NRDB metadata for the selected schemas or maps. The information can be filtered by access method, schema-name mask, map-name mask, and table-name mask.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:
PWXUMAP COMMAND=DTLDESCRIBE TYPE={ALL|CRX|DMX} OUTPUT_FILE=
file_name
LOCATION={
node_name
|
local
} [UID=
user_name
] [PWD=
password
|EPWD=
encrypted_password
] [AMLIST=
access_method_list
] [DESCRIBETYPE=
metadata_type
] [MAPMASK=
map_mask
] [NULLLITERAL=
literal
] [OVERRIDE_CRX_FILE=
extraction_maps_file
] [OVERRIDE_DMX_FILE=
data_maps_file
] [RETLOGINFOMSG={
Y
|N}] [SCHEMAMASK=
schema_mask
] [TABLEMASK=
table_mask
] [TIMESTAMPS={
Y
|N}] [USESEQUENCEFIELDS={Y}
N
}

Parameters

The following parameters are specific to this command:
DESCRIBETYPE=
metadata_type
The metadata to include in the report. Only one option can be specified for the DESCRIBETYPE parameter. Options are:
  • COLUMNS
    . Include column metadata.
  • CKEYS
    . Include foreign-key metadata for IMS sources.
  • DELEMS
    . Include Datacom element metadata for Datacom sources.
  • FIELDS
    . Include field metadata for relational sources.
  • MAPS
    . Include metadata for data maps and extraction maps.
  • PKEYS
    . Include primary-key metadata.
  • RECORDS
    . Include record metadata for nonrelational sources.
  • SCHEMAS
    . Include schema metadata.
  • TABLES
    . Include table metadata
  • TPATHS
    . Include PATH metadata for IDMS sources.
Default is
SCHEMAS
.
The MAPS, SCHEMAS, and TABLES options can run unqualified even when the report includes large numbers of data maps or extraction maps. If you specify other DESCRIBETYPE options, use the MAPMASK, SCHEMAMASK, or TABLEMASK parameters to filter the report results and improve the utility performance.
NULLLITERAL=
literal
A value to use to replace any null columns that are included in the report. Options are:
  • EMPTY
    . Set the null literal to an empty string.
  • string
    . Enter a string that replaces the null value. The string can be up to 12 characters long.
Default is no replacement value for null columns.
RETLOGINFOMSG={
Y
|N}
Specifies whether to include messages from the map log files in the report. Options are:
  • Y
    . Include logged messages.
  • N
    . Do not include logged messages.
Default is
Y
.
USESEQUENCEFIELDS={Y|
N
}
Specifies whether to use sequence fields in the source metadata. Set this parameter to
Y
if the data or extraction maps include multiple-record writes to IMS or sequential VSAM sources
Default is
N
.
