Create a Subset for a Specific Task

1. Consider the task that you want to accomplish.
2. Locate the corresponding Detailed Subset Task Definition.

   The subset type organizes the detailed subset task definitions in the task tables:

   • Design
     The tasks that are defined for the Design type subsets are listed under these headings:
     • Planning
     • Analysis
     • Design
       (which includes data modeling tasks before and after transformation)
     • Internal Design
       (which includes subset definitions for initial Transformation and Intelligent Retransformation)
   • Unit Test
   • System Test

   Note: The tasks that are defined for Unit Test and System Test subsets are listed under Construction. If the task tables do not contain the task that you need, see the procedure for Using the Expansion Tables.

3. Jot down the recommended scoping object and its recommended expansion and protection.

   P designates recommended protection, and the available options are:

   • D (for Delete)
   • M (for Modify)
   • A (for Access)
   • R (for Read)

   E designates recommended expansion, and the available options are:

   • S (for Short)
   • D (for Default)
   • F (for Full)
   • B (valid only for Batch Job Step, Procedure Step, Online Load Module, Server Manager, and Window Load Module)
   • A (valid only for the object types that are listed for B previously, plus Batch Job and Procedure)

See the Add Subset Definition procedure for step-by-step instructions.
