Load DB2 Objects

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

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on a subsystem ID (SSID).
2. Click Load Objects.

   A Load Objects dialog appears.

3. Complete the following Object Selection Criteria:
   1. Enter an object name or a creator.
   • If you specify a 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.

     Note: You can use the wildcard character % as a part of the object name or creator name.

   1. (Optional) Select one or more object types from the Object Types list.

   Note: By default, all the object types (tables, views, and aliases) are selected.

4. Click OK.

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