Working with Data Dictionary Merge

Note: This merge is for upgrades and cumulative updates.

The Data Dictionary Merge (R989200P) program updates the customer-specific data dictionary tables by using a combination of information from the new Release 9.2 data dictionary tables and the change tables in the planner database. It runs during the Installation Workbench phase.

The Release 9.2 data dictionary tables are stored as follows:

  • The following pristine data dictionary tables are stored in a relational database.

    Changes made to the data dictionary items that will be replicated to other Development Clients must be made here.

    • F9200

    • F9202

    • F9203

    • F9207

    • F9210

    • F9211

    • F9212

    • F00165

  • Replicated data dictionary items are stored in specification tables on each Development Client.

    These tables are the .ddb and .xdb versions of the DDDICT and DDTEXT tables that are located in the \Spec directory.

For installations, upgrades, and cumulative updates that include an alternate language, the Data Dictionary Text tables (GT92002, F9202, and F9203) must be loaded to display the text from these files in the desired language. The data dictionary files add the alternate language on top of the installed English records.
