Generating a DBD updates the following files:
-
dbdname.acb
-
dbdgen2.dat
-
dbdgen2f.dat
These files contain DBD source information that has been extracted and formatted into a smaller structure optimized for faster
access during execution. The
.dat files files are indexed files and can contain one or more generated DBD members.
The
dbdgen*.* and
dbdname.acb files are created in
the directory specified in your project properties, on the
IMS tab in the
Generated files field. If no directory is specified there, the files are created in the project directory.
Note: When you deploy your application to an enterprise server, you must provide the enterprise server with the location of the
generated files. See
To specify the location of generated files for instructions.
