Creating Sample Data and Metadata

Before you create and run the data flows discussed in this chapter, you must create the sample data that you will be using.

To create the sample data from the Data Management Console, see How to Create Sample Procedures and Data.

To create the sample data from the Web Console, see the Server Administration for UNIX, Windows, OpenVMS, IBM i, and z/OS manual or the Web Console online help.

Note: You should set your Run Options for Maximum number of rows for test reports to 100 in the Run Options section of the Options dialog box so that the sample flows will retrieve data using any database.

Tip: You can build your flows in any application directory in the servers search path, including the ibisamp directory. However, you may find it useful to create a dedicated sample application directory called mysamp (or another name) and add it to the server search path, following the directions in Create Sample Data and Metadata and Create an Application Directory.You can then build all of the flows in that directory, using sample data and metadata, as required, from the ibisamp directory.
