Object Codes for DDM Support
Object Codes
Implementer supports the management of Distributed Data Management (DDM) software.
For this purpose, you must create three new object codes: DDMDTAA, DDMDTAQ, and
following table.
To create this object code ... copy this object code ... and specify this Object Attribute
DDMDTAA DTAARA DDMDTAARA
DDMDTAQ DTAQ DDMDTAQUE
DDMF PF DDMF
For more information on managing DDM software, see “Using Special Commands to
Manage DDM Software” in the MKS Implementer 2006 User Guide.
Object Codes for IFS Objects
Implementer provides a variety of default object codes for managing IFS directories and files.
When you need to use an object code that does not exist, you can create an IFS object code the
same as a traditional object code in Work with Object Codes, or you can define Implementer
to automatically create them when you check out or create a promotion request. The latter
option requires activation in System Control Maintenance as described in “Allow IFS object
code creation from Check Out and Create Rqs” on page 68.
Object codes defined with a special characteristic of PCFILE display the PC file extension
name in the Creation command field. When you display a PCFILE or PCDIR object code, the
Creation command field name changes to IFS Object Extension. When you edit or copy an IFS
object code the field name is Creation command.
Due to the way that Implementer matches the object code for files with long extensions to the
short form in the object code, MKS recommends you deactivate (rather than delete) obsolete
object codes to ensure the retention of accurate history.
NOTE Implementer supports Document Library Objects (DLO) within the IFS and
automatically retains all DLO attributes and characteristics during promotion.
However, because the Move Object (MOV) command used to move QDLS and IFS
objects from the staging directory to the target directory does not support spanning
ASPs, the promotion of QDLS and DLO objects must run in the system Auxiliary
Store Pool (ASP) ASP1.
To define object codes for IFS files and directories
1 Access the Create Object Code panel as described in “Object Codes” on page 127.
An example object code displays next.
