Automatically Reverse-engineering Datatypes

A reverse of the datatypes avoids having to enter datatypes in the master repository by recovering this information directly on the data server level. However, this function is not accepted by all data server access drivers.

Note: This procedure should only be implemented on the topology's new technologies.

To automatically reverse the technology's datatypes:
  1. Create and test a data server connection for the technology.

  2. Open the Technology window

  3. Click the Reverse button. The reversed datatypes are displayed under the technology in the tree.

  4. Complete the information for converting each datatype into the other technologies from the convert to tab in the Datatype . window.
