To capture changes from a CA-IDMS database, you must create a relational table that maps to that database. You can also create a view on the table to filter record types or to filter rows and columns. Use the New CA-IDMS Table wizard to create the table and optionally the view.

About this task
In the New CA-IDMS Table wizard, you can map a single record or a specific path to as many as 10 records. You define a path by starting with a single record, and then navigating sets to additional records defined in the subschema. The subschema information that you use for mapping determines which records and sets are available. You can import the subschema information from a combination of CA-IDMS schema and subschema report files or directly from the CA-IDMS database by using Classic Data Architect's discovery process.
CA-IDMS schema and subschema reports are produced by running the CA-IDMS schema and subschema compilers and capturing the punched output into a z/OS® data set. JCL to punch these reports is in the SCACSAMP library with the member name CACIDPCH.
For more information about creating tables and views that map to CA-IDMS databases, see the related links for CA-IDMS syntax diagrams and for views.
