Generating an Access Path

You must generate and compile the source members for your access paths before you can run your application. The following steps provide you with instructions to generate your access path.

1. Go to the Services Menu. At the Edit Database Relations panel, press F17.

   The Display Services Menu appears.

2. Select access paths. Type 8 at the bottom of the screen and press Enter.

   The Display All Access Paths panel appears with a list of all of the access paths in your model.

3. Generate the access path. Type J next to each of the access paths you want to generate and press Enter.

   The Display All Access Paths panel reappears with messages at the bottom of the panel that say the source generation requests have been accepted.

   Note: Selecting either J for batch generation or G for interactive generation generates your access paths. However, selecting G has an impact on system performance. Generating interactively negatively impacts other interactive users.

4. Press F3 to return to the Services Menu panel.

Note: An alternative to this procedure is to use option 14 (generate in batch) or 15 (generate interactively) from the Edit Model Object List panel.
