The DLMAINT utility program supplied with SCC-DLimit allows batch processes to be performed against SCC-DLimit databases.
Either of the following database targets may be used:
- the active database
- an alternate database (for example, an alternate BDAM file or VSAM cluster)
The DLMAINT program supports these operations:
- Mass updates, such as changing the maximum allowed space in many accounts (for example,
via the
SCANstatement). - Initial population or re-synchronization of the database using the
RESYNCstatement (for example, after a volume has been taken offline and restored). - Actions against particular accounts or groups of accounts, such as resetting high-water marks or warning percentages.
- Making a copy of the SCC-DLimit database for backup or reporting purposes.
Note: Backup considerations are important when making mass changes to the
SCC-DLimit database. Before running
RESYNC or any other
operation that may change the contents of the database, back up the database—either with the
DLMAINT BACKUP statement or with other procedures already in place for
backing up files.
