Type Tree Importers Reference Guide

Chapter 1 - Introduction

This chapter is an overview and general discussion of the Importer Wizard.

Overview

The Importer Wizard is an applet that is run from the Type Designer by selecting

Import from the Tree menu.

The Importer Wizard uses a series of maps to convert metadata into a type tree

script file (.mts). The Type Tree Maker then processes this type tree script and

generates a type tree that contains all the supported types that are defined in the

imported metadata.

Many of the type trees that are generated by the Importer Wizard can be

immediately used for map development. However, depending on the contents of

the interface-specific metadata file, it may be necessary for the generated type

tree to be modified using the Type Designer.

Note You cannot simultaneously have a type tree open in the Type Designer while

importing a type tree with the same name.

The following is a list of importers available in the Importer Wizard:

♦ COBOL Copybook ♦ EJB API
