Load DB2 Objects

Use the load objects option to fetch DB2 objects (tables, views, and aliases) from the database. The loaded objects are displayed in a hierarchical fashion in the Data Source Explorer. Search for an object by typing the object name in the Type object name field.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on a subsystem ID (SSID) in the Data Source Explorer.

2. Click Load Objects.
   A Load Objects dialog appears.

3. Complete the following Object Selection Criteria:

   1. Enter an object name or a creator. You can use the wildcard character % as a part of object or creator name.

      • If you specify creator and leave the object name field as blank, all the objects for the creator appear in the Data Source Explorer.

      • If you specify an object name and leave the creator field blank, all the objects for different creators appear in the Data Source Explorer.

   2. (Optional) Select one or more object types from the Object Types list. By default, all the object types (tables, views, and aliases) are selected.

4. Click OK.

The objects that meet the search criteria are loaded and displayed in the Data Source Explorer.
