Does anyone know if this is still viable?
Our corporate data modeling group is trying to resurrect this, as it has become difficult (for various reasons) to maintain the Gen data models in the corporate data model.
they have encountered some difficulties in their latest effort, and I am just wondering if there's any expertise out there that might have some insight.
Here is what they are seeing:

My Import is failing . I think the culprit is the following below. This is one of the problems of the Broadcom acquisition of CA.
We need to know 2 things here to even get started.
1)The updated link for that bridge parameter file.
2) where to update the updated link in ERWIN so that the import picks up the new file.
Other possible option to import in ERWIN is to use a COBOL Copybook File. Is it possible to create a copybook file from CA:GEN for it?
