Metadata Crawler wizard
Use the metadata crawler wizard to generate object metadata for tables, views, and
materialized views stored in a database.
Before using the metadata crawler for your database entities, you must define a database connection point in ION. For information on how to create a connection point for a database, see the Infor ION Technology Connectors Administration Guide.
