Refer to this chapter for detailed information about templates that are offered with and supported by Version 5.2 of Visual Warehouse and DataGuide(R). The section for each template lists the tokens for the template. It provides the allowed values and lengths of values for each token.
Note: The templates described in this chapter have been deprecated and will not be enhanced.
If your interchange program does not have a value for a token, it should set the token to ISV_DEFAULTVALUE. However, you must specify a value other than ISV_DEFAULTVALUE for any token that is required.
Because there is no template for security groups, your program must specify the value ISV_DEFAULTSECURITYGROUP for any instances of the *SecurityGroup token.
If the template does not set a Visual Warehouse parameter, the Visual Warehouse definition will have the default value of the parameter. For example, Visual Warehouse sets the Retry Count and Retry Interval parameters for source databases to their default values.
Table 129 lists the metadata templates that are supplied with Visual
Warehouse and the section that covers each template.
