Procedures and the synonyms they use reside in application directories. The Application Path is a list of viewable application directories. It determines their order of appearance in the navigation pane.
The Application Path is the default search criteria for the server. The server searches each of the directories listed in the Application Path sequentially to find the requested procedure/synonym.
By default, the server profile (EDASPROF.PRF) is run for all users when they connect to the DataMigrator Server to provide access to all application directories in the server search path.
However, you can control a users access to application directories by creating individual user profiles. Each user can then:
Grouping procedures and synonyms into application directories provides better control. For your convenience, three directories are included in the server search path during installation:
You can, of course, set up additional application directories in the server search path.
The following operations are available from the Application Directories folder by right-clicking in the DMC or Web Console.
You can also use the Configure Application Path window to set the viewable directories for DataMigrator, as well as add new directories and mappings. To use DM procedures that reside in a directory other than ibi\apps\baseapp, the directory must be added to the list of viewable directories.
Note: You can also manage application directories and configure the Application Path from the Procedures page of the Web Console. For information, see the Server Administration for UNIX, Windows, OpenVMS, IBM i, and z/OS manual or the Web Console online help.
The Create New Application Directory dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
Caution: The directory name may not contain spaces, special characters, or capital letters. Capital letters are converted to lowercase. If the name contains spaces, each section is understood to be a separate directory. If an application directory is created outside of the DMC or Web Console, the same rules apply.
If a directory was created outside of the DataMigrator environment and the recommended guidelines were not followed, the directory should be managed under the user responsibility, as an unexpected error might occur.
The Application Configuration dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
Note: You must be connected to a server from a Server Administration ID.
You can create a new mapping to a directory anywhere in the file system and include it in the server path. Application directory mappings can be added and deleted on a per profile basis.
The Application Configuration dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
The Create New Application dialog box opens.
Optionally, in the Description box enter a description. If needed, check the Create directory if none exists checkbox.
The new mapping appears in the Application Configuration dialog box, as shown in the following image.
Note: The mapping must still be added to the Application Path.
The Application Configuration dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
A confirmation dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
You must add an application directory or mapping to the Application Path for it to be accessible.
The Application Configuration dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
You may want to consider moving the ibisamp directory to the bottom of the list to avoid confusion. If you do not plan to use the sample data, you can remove ibisamp from your Application Path completely.
Note: If there is a long list of application directories, you can click the FInd button on the top right or use Ctrl + F to find a text string in the name, physical location, or description.
If you right-click Application Directories in the DMC navigation pane, the options shown in the following image are available:
Refreshes the application directories tree.
Opens a windows explorer style window on the right side of the Data Management Console that shows detailed information about the currently selected server object.
Allows you to add procedures and synonyms on the server.
Allows you to set preferences to how objects in an application directory are viewed. This option contains a Sort by sub-menu that allows you to select the order in which server objects appear under each application directory. The choices are name, size, type, and modified.
Opens an Applications Settings dialog box that allows you to set settings for the foccache and home application root directories.
Allows you to add and delete application directories and mappings from the application path.
Creates sample procedures and data for DataMigrator. For more information, see How to Create Sample Procedures and Data.
