To create new database source files
Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
- In the Data View Explorer of the AppMaster Builder perspective, right-click the desired Source file type node (IMS Source Files, VSAM Source files, SQL Source files) and choose
Add. The
New Source dialog box appears. The current Source folder appears in the
Source folder list. A default name for the new data view appears in the
Name field.
- Type a meaningful name for the new source file in the
Name field.
- Click
OK. The new source file is added to the list of sources under the appropriate source file type node in the Data View Explorer.
- Find the new source file in the list and double-click the file.
- If the new source file is a SQL schema file, The SQL Schema dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to associate SQL table definitions with a SQL schema file. Select or remove table definitions from the SQL schema as needed and click
OK to save the changes. See the topic
To edit a SQL Schema file for specific instructions.
- For all other types of source files, double-click the file in the Data View Explorer to edit its contents in its own Editor window in the Eclipse IDE. Code the source in the Editor window as needed, then choose
to save any changes before closing the Editor window.
Note:
- See
Coding DDI Sources for information on coding DDI statements for IMS and VSAM.
- You can optionally create new sources outside of the AppMaster Builder environment. Save all new sources in their appropriate project directories.
- Be sure to load and build your new source into a data view so that it becomes available to AppMaster Builder.
