Table 4-19 Database View Summary

Column Description
Name The database view name. All views created through this page are prefixed with PBSM_View.
View Type

Indicates whether the view is classified. View Type is derived from the Register View and Primary Classification settings used when the view was created:

  • If Register View is left off, the view is a plain database view. View Type displays BASE, and the view is not available for selection as a classified source in consuming modules.
  • If Register View is enabled, the view inherits the classification of the Primary Classification (and its underlying table UDP) selected at creation. View Type displays BASE plus that classification — for example, BASE, FTP — indicating the view is registered under the FTP classification and is available for selection wherever that classification is used as a source.
Creation Date The date and time when the view was created.
Created By Displays the name of the user who created the view.
Last Modification Date The date and time when the view was last modified.
Last Modified By Displays the name of the user who last modified the view.
