To load and build a SQL schema into a data 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 Data View Explorer of the AppMaster Builder perspective, right-click to select the desired data view and choose Edit Data View. The Load Source for Data 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 data 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 data 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 data view with the same name as your SQL SCHEMA already exists, your schema is built into that existing data 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 data view if the SUB name specified in the VSAM matches the name of the data view.
  • You can load IMS into this same data view if the name of the PSB source matches the name of the data view.
