To define a data folder for a table catalog

When you create a table catalog, you can also specify one or more data folders associated with that table catalog. In output processes such as Snapshot, these named folders appear in the file location selection dialog as pre-defined folder locations.

In a flowchart in Edit mode, click the Admin icon and select Tables.

In the Table Mappings window, select the mapped user tables that you want to save to a catalog. Click Save.

In the Save Table Mappings to Catalog File window, click in the IBM® Campaign Data Folders section to add an item.

Enter a name and folder location for the data folder you are adding, relative to the current partition's home directory. For example, if you are working in partition1, the folder location you specify is relative to the partitions/partition1 folder.

Click Save.

After you have saved the table catalog with its associated data folder(s), when you reload the catalog in a flowchart containing output processes such as Snapshot, these folders appear as options in the file location selection dialog.

For example, if you add aIBM® Campaign Data Folder named MyFolder with the Folder Location temp, in a Snapshot process configuration dialog, File in MyFolder appears in the Export to drop-down list. When you select File in MyFolder, the File Name field in the Specify Output File window is automatically populated with the relative path temp/.
