Defining data folders for table catalogs

When you create a table catalog, you can specify one or more data folders to associate 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 dialog, select the mapped user tables that you want to save to a catalog.

Click Save.

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

Enter a name and folder location for the data folder that you are adding, relative to the current partition's home directory.

For example, if you are working in partition1, the folder location that you specify is relative to the partitions/partition1 folder.

Click Save.

When you reload the catalog in a flowchart that contains output processes such as Snapshot, the folders appear as options in the file location selection dialog.

For example, say that you add a Data Folder named MyFolder in the Folder Location temp. When you configure a Snapshot process, File in MyFolder appears in the Export to list. When you select File in MyFolder, the File Name field in the Specify Output File dialog is automatically populated with the relative path temp/.
