Table References (tltsm0110m000)

Use this session to view references between tables and to modify soft references.

In general, this session provides the information to answer the question If this table is shared, which tables must be shared as well?.

The session displays both hard references and soft references. You cannot modify hard references in this session.

To view all the tables that refer to a certain table, select a record and click Table References (Where-Used) on the appropriate menu.

To view the references in a diagram, select a record and click Show Relation Tree on the appropriate menu.

Package combination

The session displays only the references that exist in the package combination you selected. By default, the package combination of the user is selected.

To select another package combination, click Change Current PVRC of User on the appropriate menu. You must choose one of the package combinations entered in the Table Sharing Package Combinations (tltsm0105m000) session.

Hard references

To update hard references, use the Update Table References (tltsm0201m000) session.

Soft references

In this session, you can add, modify, or delete a soft reference. You can also set a soft reference to expired. In that case, the soft reference remains active in older VRCs.

Package VRC

You can create or modify soft references which are contained in a program script in the current package VRC.

To change your current package VRC, click Change Current PVRC of User on the appropriate menu.

Note: In the first release of the Table Sharing Modeler module, you can maintain soft references which are caused by a program script in other than the current package VRC.

If you enter a soft reference, LN determines the VRCs of the referral table and the reference table based upon the package combination that you selected.
