Creating and Mapping Table Instances during Single Instance Installation

You can install an object from its Properties screen or Work Area even if its installation status is Non Installable. For objects that have target Table Descriptors, such as Programs and Load Sets, the system attempts to correct issues that are preventing the object from being installed:

  1. The system runs Automatic Mapping by Name to map any unmapped target Table Descriptors to Table instances with the same name in the current Work Area, if any.
  2. If any target Table Descriptors remain unmapped, the system automatically creates new Table instances in the current Work Area and maps them.

Both these tasks are performed by a batch job. If the system cannot resolve all issues automatically, the job fails. You can view the job log in your My Home screen.
