Updating registration tables

You can use the LOAD utility or the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements to update the application registration table (ART) and the object registration table (ORT).

About this task

Because security provisions are important, allow only a restricted set of authorization IDs, or perhaps only those with the SYSADM authority, to update the ART. Consider assigning a validation exit routine to the ORT, to allow applications to change only those rows that have the same application identifier in the APPLIDENT column.

A registration table cannot be updated until all jobs whose data definition statements are controlled by the table have completed.
