Rule for determining the target file name (non AS/400 IBMi)

The name of the target table addressed on the target machine is generated based on the rules below:

Database name

  • If the desired syntax (in the distribution properties) for the target table is "File", "Table", "Library_File", or "DB_Table", the database is the one targeted by the Data Source used in the distributed model properties.

  • If the desired syntax for the target table is "Library..File" or "DB..Table" that applies only to non-AS/400 IBMi targets that support this syntax, the rule below applies.

  • If a database name is specified for the distributed table, then this is the name used.

  • If a database name is specified in the table properties in the model, then this is the name used.

  • If a default database name is specified in the distribution properties, then this is the name used.

  • Otherwise, the name of the source library is used as the database name. 

Table name

  • If a table name is specified for the distributed table, then this is the name used.

  • If a table name is specified in the table properties in the model, then this is the name used.

  • Otherwise, the name of the source table is used.
