Display the Schema Designer

You modify CA SDM using the Schema Designer.

To display the Schema Designer

1. Start WSP.
   • (Windows) From the Windows Start menu, select Program Files, CA, CA SDM, Web Screen Painter.
   • (UNIX) Enter the command pdm_wsp with $NX_ROOT/bin in your path.

   A Web Screen Painter login window appears.

2. Enter your User Name and Password.
3. Select Schema Designer from the Tools menu.

   The Schema Designer window appears.

The left side of the Schema Designer window shows the CA SDM database in a tree format. The initial display lists tables, each preceded by a plus sign and a yellow folder icon. To see the columns in a table, either double-click the table name, or click the plus sign. The plus sign will change to a minus sign, and WSP will display the columns in the table in a tree format.

WSP shows both tables and columns in sequence by their Object Name. In addition, if the Display Name differs from the Object Name of the table or column, WSP shows the Display Name in parentheses after the Object Name.

The right side of the window displays the properties of the table or the column that is selected.
