To enter stored procedure user-defined property values

  1. Click Target - <database> on the Model menu and then select an option for the physical object for which you want to enter UDP values (such as Tablespace, Rollback Segment, Database).

    The property editor for the physical object opens.

  2. Select the physical object in the Navigation Grid for which you want to enter UDP values.
  3. Click the UDP tab and work with the following options:
    Property

    Displays the name of the user-defined property (UDP) associated with the physical object. When you use the Command data type for a UDP, the Property cell is a button that you can click to launch a file or application that you enter in the Value cell.

    Value

    Specifies a default value. You can enter or select a property value depending on the value data type:

    • Enter the property value in the Value cell for Integer, Real Number, and Text data types.
    • Enter a date value, click Spin Control Button in UDP tab to change the month, day, and year, or click Down Control to select a date for the Date data type.
    • Select a value from the Value list for the List data type. For example, you can create a UDP to select the backup frequency such as daily.
    • Enter a system command or click Command Data Type Icon in UDP tab to browse for a file or executable program for the Command data type. For example, you can enter or select C:\Myfile.doc to launch the Microsoft Word document Myfile.doc.
  4. Click Close.

    User-defined property values are saved for the physical object and the property editor closes.

Note: You should create UDPs before assigning them to a physical object. However, you can click Property Editor UDP Tab_User Defined Properties Editor Button to open the User Defined Properties : Physical dialog and work with physical UDPs from within the UDP tab of the property editor.
