Data Creation
Before you actually begin creating and manipulating dictionary data, you should be familiar with the core
set and the various entity types, relationship types, etc., that are available. (Refer to the HP System
Dictionary/XL General Reference Manual, Volume 1 for a complete description of the core set.) Once you
have done this, you are then ready to begin creating those entities and relationships that you need in your
dictionary.
One important aspect of data creation is the creation of entity names. Refer to the HP System Dictionary/
XL General Reference Manual, Volume 1 for discussions on entity naming, aliases, and synonyms.
Data Maintenance
After you have created entities, relationships, scopes, versions, etc., you can modify or delete them using
dictionary commands such as DELETE, EDIT, MODIFY, RENAME, etc. The dictionary must be open in
exclusive-update mode in order to delete, modify, or rename scopes, domains, and versions.
