Adding an Aggregate View

Adding an Aggregate View

You can add an aggregate view to create a view on multiple tables in the same database.
  1. Click
    File
    New
    Aggregate View
    .
    The
    Aggregate View Editor
    dialog box appears.
  2. Enter a description for the aggregate view.
  3. Click
    Browse
    in the
    Select Table
    field.
    The
    Choose Data Source
    dialog box appears. This dialog box displays the sources available in the repositories. You can sort information in this dialog box by clicking the column headers. You can reduce the number of items to select by typing one or more letters of the table, file, or view name in the Search field.
  4. Select a table and click
    Select
    .
    To filter the available tables, enter a search string in the

  5. Select a connection to the source that contains the tables included in the aggregate view.
    If you select file source, select the source directory, file name, and file type in the
    Select Connection for Table
    area.
  6. Select a group name if you use an XML, a PowerExchange for IMS, COBOL, or VSAM data source.
    Only child elements of the XML group are available for use in the column definition of the aggregate view clause, table join field, and tests.
  7. Specify an expression in the WHERE clause to filter the records. Filter the records to increase test performance.
    If the data source is relational, Salesforce, SAP, or SAS, enable
    Execute Where Clause in DB
    if you want the data source to process the WHERE clause.
  8. Specify the optimization level.
    By default, Data Validation Option uses
    Default
    optimization, which sorts the source data.
  9. To add columns from the tables to the aggregate view, click
    Select Columns
    in the
    Column Definition
    area.
