Step 2: Schema Preparation

To compile the schema created by the transparency generator, execute the program IDMSCHEM.

Schema Compiler Execution

The following figure shows the execution of the schema compiler.

Input to IDMSCHEM

The input to IDMSCHEM is the source schema DDL output by the generator.

Output from IDMSCHEM

Output from IDMSCHEM is as follows:

• A description of the schema stored in the dictionary
• A schema DDL input listing, including embedded warning and error messages issued by IDMSCHEM

Note: For more information about messages issued by IDMSCHEM, see the CA IDMS Messages and Codes Guide. For more information about how to use the extended options of the schema compiler, see the CA IDMS Database Administration Guide.
