Setting the Tablespace

The Change Space dialog box is an editing tool with which you can select the space name and view the records attributed to the named space in the database.

Access this dialog box by selecting Tools, and then Data Administration, and then Set Tablespace. This dialog box also appears automatically when you attempt to save a new record definition. For each new record definition that is created in PeopleSoft Application Designer, you must allocate a tablespace name. For the Change Space dialog box to appear upon saving a new record definition, you must select the Platform Compatibility Mode check box under PeopleTools, and then Utilities, and then Administration, and then PeopleTools Options.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Change Space dialog box. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
