Select External Definition Source (zSeries Server)

Analyzer can read several common external file definitions for Arbutus zSeries Server data sources to correctly define the data for you. Analyzer automatically converts these external definitions into Analyzer table layouts.

For Arbutus zSeries Server (Flat and VSAM files or IMS data) Analyzer can convert COBOL copybooks, PL/1, EASYTRIEVE and DBD file definitions into Analyzer table layouts.

Note: DBD selection will only be available if the IMS interface is activated.
