Choose this option to dump Change Data Capture (CDC) policies from your database into a .cd file. You can select an individual CDC policy, a list of CDC policies, or all CDC policies irrespective of their state—current, pending, or previous—to dump, and the destination directory where you want to dump them. You can also select all the current or pending CDC policies defined for your database and dump them at once.
When you dump CDC policies, a .cd file is created with the name of the database, db-name.cd, from which the policies are dumped, and stored in the current OpenEdge work directory. However, you can specify a name and destination directory for the file. The .cd file contains the dump data of CDC table policies that you selected and their corresponding field policies. You can use this .cd file to load data into a database.
In case of a failure in dumping the data, an error .e file is created with the name of the database, db-name.e, and stored in the same directory where the .cd file is stored.
