To set properties for a specific database view

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
  1. In the Data View Manager of the AppMaster Builder perspective, right-click the Database View for which you want to set properties and select Edit Database View.... The Load Source for Database View dialog box appears.
  2. Click the Properties tab.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To load IMS source into this database view, check Load DDISRC with IMS PSB override, then select the appropriate DDI source location in the DDISRC Location list.
    • To load SQL into this database view, set the SQL target from the Target list. Then select check boxes as needed to allow mixed case in your SQL table definitions, or generate a REDEFINES statement for any copybook field with a corresponding DATE, TIME, or TIMESTAMP SQL field. For Double-byte character sets used in DBCS PICTURE clauses, select the symbol to be used from the list (G, N, or N with NATIONAL USAGE).
  4. Click Save/Build. A message box appears indicating when the database view has finished building. Click OK.
Note:
  • If no records are in the database view, clicking Save/Build displays a message indicating no records have been loaded.
  • You can optionally choose to load a specific IMS DDISRC member when you load PSB source by checking Load DDISRC with IMS PSB override, then selecting the appropriate DDI source location in the DDISRC Location list.
  • For SQL, defaults apply if the user does not set any properties.
