How to Restart AUTOIDMS

Reference:

If, in a previous session, you stopped AUTOIDMS and saved the data sets/files (with PF4), you can continue to process them or save them for another session.

After you execute AUTOIDMS, you are prompted with:

                      MASTER FILE GENERATION FACILITY FOR IDMS
                         ** INFORMATION BUILDERS, INCORPORATED **
      DURING A PREVIOUS SESSION THE GENERATION OF MASTER EMPFULL1
                  FOR SUBSCHEMA  EMPSS01   WAS PREMATURELY HALTED.
                   ENTER 'R' TO RESTART PROCESSING THE ABOVE MASTER
                  'S' TO SAVE THE FILES AND GENERATE ANOTHER MEMBER
                          OR 'D' TO DELETE THE FILES  ==========>  R
                    PRESS PF3 KEY TO TERMINATE PROCEDURE

Specify one of the following and press Enter:

R

Continues processing.

S

Saves the pre-existing data sets and allocates more data sets.

D

Deletes the pre-existing data sets and allocates more data sets.

Reference: Special Considerations for AUTOIDMS

In AUTOIDMS processing, only network record-types with set-based relationships can be generated as descendant segments. To produce file descriptions that include record-types with CALC- or index-based relationships (ACCESS=CLC or ACCESS=IX), you must:

  1. Generate two pairs of file descriptions, one pair for set-based record-types and one pair for CALC-based record-types.
  2. Copy one pair into the other.
  3. Edit the pair of resulting file descriptions. For example, add the KEYFLD parameter to the Access File to create the embedded cross-reference.

An alternate method is to use the JOIN command to dynamically cross-reference the two Master Files at execution time (see Adapter for CA-IDMS Reporting Techniques, for more information).
