Viewing a Data File

If a data map has an associated data file, you can view the data file in the

Data File

window.

Define the default display format and the number of records to initially display in the

Data Map Preferences

dialog box. When you view the data file, you can display additional records, until all of the records in the data file have been displayed. You can also display a ruler above a record to show the number of characters in the record.

Open the data map.

On the

Resources

tab in the

Resource Explorer

, click

File > View Data File

If the data map does not have an associated data file, this command is not available.

The first time you open a data file for a data map in a session, the

Data File Remote Node

dialog box appears. Thereafter, the

Data File

window appears.

If the

Data File Remote Node

dialog box appears, enter connection information for the system on which the data file is located, and click

The following table describes the connection information to enter:

Option	Description
User ID	If a user ID is required to access the system where the file is located, enter a user ID. For files on supported Linux, UNIX, or Windows systems, if you have enabled PowerExchange LDAP user authentication, the user name is the enterprise user name. For more information, see the PowerExchange Reference Manual .
Password	If you specify a user ID, enter a password for that user ID. For access to a file on i5/OS or z/OS, you can enter a valid PowerExchange passphrase instead of a password. An i5/OS passphrase can be from 9 to 31 characters in length. A z/OS passphrase can be from 9 to 128 characters in length. A passphrase can contain the following characters: Uppercase and lowercase letters The numbers 0 to 9 Spaces The following special characters: ’ - ; # \ , . / ! % & * ( ) _ + { } : @ \| < > ? The first character is an apostrophe. Passphrases cannot include single quotation marks (‘), double quotation marks (“), or currency symbols. On z/OS, the allowable characters in the IBM IRRPHREX exit do not affect the allowable characters in PowerExchange passphrases. On z/OS, a valid RACF passphrase can be up to 100 characters in length. PowerExchange truncates passphrases longer than 100 characters when passing them to RACF for validation. To use passphrases, ensure that the PowerExchange Listener runs with a security setting of SECURITY=(1,N) or higher in the DBMOVER member. For more information, see "SECURITY Statement" in the PowerExchange Reference Manual .
Location	Select the node name of the system where the data file is located. This field lists the locations that are defined in the NODE statements in the dbmover.cfg configuration file on the PowerExchange Navigator system. Default is local .
File Password	If a password is required to access the data file, enter a password.
Save User ID and Password(s) for session	Select this option to save the information you enter for the duration of the session. Default is selected.
