Load Other Data Stores

Loading all the other types of data stores into the Knowledge Base can be done by executing the following:

  • Job Load Data Store Information from External Interface (see the section Load Data Store Information From External Interface Job in the chapter Work with Jobs from theFront End Guide).
  • Single load job for all the other types of data store including VSAM or GDG (see the sections Load VSAM data set information Job, Load SEQ/GDG Data Set Information Job, Load DL/I Database Information Job, and Load DB2 table information by unload Job in the chapter Work with Jobs in the Front End Guide).

For the DB2 tables with unload, the inventory information is located in the SYSPUNCH, while for the other types of data stores, the inventory information is located in the copybook associated with them.

The copybook association can be manual or automatic:

  • Automatic with the job Load Data Store Information from External Interface (see the section Load Data Store Information from External Interface in the chapter Sequential Files from the Data Model Guide).
