After you define a table, you can define indexes on the table to
map existing indexes on the underlying data. An index identifies columns in
a table that correspond to a physical index that is defined against a data
source. Indexes are supported for Classic federation, but not for Classic
event publishing or Classic replication.
Procedure
To create an index:
- In the Data Project Explorer, right-click
the table that you want to define an index on and select Add Classic
Object > Index. The New
Index wizard opens.
- Name the index, specify whether it should be unique, and select
the columns to base the index on.
- If the index is for an IMS™ table, specify the method that Classic
federation can use to select a PCB to access your IMS database.
- If the index is for a CICS® VSAM or native VSAM table, specify
the DS or DD name for the index.
