To load and build a SQL schema into a database view

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
  1. Copy the SQL DDL sources that contain the tables you want to reference in your SQL schema to the SQLDDL directory of your project or group.
  2. In the Database View Explorer of the AppMaster Builder perspective, right-click to select the desired database view and choose Edit Database View. The Load Source for Database View dialog box appears with the Sources tab selected.
  3. Select the SQL Schema Source radio button.
  4. From the list of source members, select the SQL schema you want to load and build into this database view and click Load. A message box indicates when the source has been loaded in to the database file. Click OK to clear the message box.
  5. Click Save/Build. A message box appears when the database view has finished building.
  6. Click OK to return to the AppMaster Builder Desktop. Review the information in the Logger window to ensure that your SQL schema loaded successfully.
Note:
  • If a database view with the same name as your SQL SCHEMA already exists, your schema is built into that existing database view.
  • You can change the default SQL target information for this session on the Properties tab for the Load/Build Data Views dialog box. The properties revert back to the default settings when you close the Load/Build Data Views dialog box.
  • You can also load VSAM source into this database view if the SUB name specified in the VSAM matches the name of the database view.
  • You can load IMS into this same database view if the name of the PSB source matches the name of the database view.
