How to get a list of tables in an application

Question

In version 6.0 I could do a simple join on views CI_TABLE_DEFINITIONS and CI_APPLICATION_SYSTEMS to get a list of table names given the name of the application system. The requisite columns to perform the join aren't there anymore in version 6i. How does on accomplish this?

Answer 1

Roger,
The link between containers (Folders and Application Systems) and the objects they own is recorded in a different fashion in Designer 6i. There is a new view SDD_FOLDER_MEMBERS that contains this link. It is an intersection between the containers on the one hand and all other PAC objects on the other.
The query you are after is now written as follows:
select tbl.name
, tbl.irid
from ci_application_systems app
, sdd_folder_members fm
, ci_table_definitions tbl
where app.name = 'APP NAME'
and app.irid = fm.folder_reference
and fm.member_object = tbl.irid
order
by tbl.name
Note: if you do not set the workarea context before running this query, you will get rows returned for all versions of the Application System times all versions of the Tables owned by the Application System. You can set the workarea context by executing this statement before executing the query:
begin
jr_context.set_workarea('Workarea Name');
end;
