Using the Dictionary Migrator Tool for ADSO applications

[Anon Anon]

I have a requirement to extract from an IDD all of the components of an ADS application (maps, dialogs, module source, etc.). I am unfamiliar with the ins and the outs of the Dictionary Migrator tool but I am hoping that there is reasonably simple command syntax I can supply to the tool that will cause it to do this for me. Before I bury myself in the manual, can someone tell me if there is a way to do this and if so, what it is?

Well ….

Step 1 USE ADSORPTS to “decompile”/report on the Application load module – to discover the APP components
For each dialog, decompile from load to determine every subschema map db record work record and process.modules

There are probably better ways – this is the best I can do off the top of my head

The syntax you want is “EXTRACT,APPLICATION=xxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxx” is the ADS application name.

At our shop, we also use the following:

DISCONNECT=(ATTRIBUTE,SYSTEM,USER),
NOPRINT=(ATTRIBUTES,CLASSES,MESSAGES,SCHEMAS,SYSTEMS),
EXSOURCE=(COMMENT,DATABASE,DEFINITION,MESSAGE),
EXLOADS=(SUBSCHEMA)
