Obtaining a List of Available Master Files

You can obtain a list of available Master Files more quickly while you work in the Managed Reporting or Data Servers areas if you do not retrieve information based on the REMARKS attribute that is stored within the Master File.

By default, Developer Studio opens and parses all available Master Files and determines if the REMARKS attribute is available to display information in the Table List dialog box. You can change this behavior and decrease the time required to display the list of available tables because each table will not be opened and parsed for available remarks.

If you do not want Developer Studio to check for the REMARKS attribute, modify the ibiapplets.txt file, typically located in the following directory:

drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\ibi_html\javaassist

To bypass checking the REMARKS attribute in the ibiapplets.txt file, change the following text from

TABLE FILE SYSTABLE
PRINT REMARKS AS '
BY NAME AS ''

to:

TABLE FILE SYSTABLE
-*PRINT REMARKS AS ''
-*BY NAME AS ''
PRINT NAME AS ''
