Metadata Loading Order

If you use the metadata load utilities, be aware that some types of metadata rely on the existence of other types of metadata. Therefore, if you need to load multiple types of metadata at one time, the files should be loaded in the following type order to avoid conflicts.

1. .sys – SystemCode

2. .elm – Elements

3. .tbl – dbdef Tables

4. .pgm – Programs

5. .wrk – workdef

6. .opt - work file attributes

7. .lib – libdef

8. .mnu – tokendef

9. .skn – kndef, skndef

10. . .msg – msgmnt

11. help text, languages, other

appmetaload follows this loading order.
