Using Designer 6i API/Views

Question

Hello,
Can anyone please tell me what the Designer 6i equivalent of this Designer 6.0 query on the repository is:
SELECT citd.name
FROM ci_application_systems cias,
ci_table_definitions citd
WHERE citd.application_system_owned_by = cias.id
AND cias.name = '&&application_name'
AND cias.version = &&application_version
When run from SQL*Plus against Designer 6.0 it produces a list of tables in the server model for a specific version of an application. I would like to do the same thing in Designer 6i.
Thanks
Ian

Ian,
Join with sdd_folder_members to get a link between table and application systems:
SELECT citd.name
FROM ci_application_systems cias,
sdd_folder_members mem,
ci_table_definitions citd
WHERE mem.folder_reference = cias.id
AND mem.object_reference = citd.id
AND cias.name = '&&application_name'
If you want to exclude shortcuts (formerly known as shares), add: AND mem.ownership_flag = 'Y'
Note that ci_application_systems does not have a version column anymore, because in Designer 6i every object is versioned and that is recorded in a different way.
If you perform the above query without a workarea context, you will get all versions of the application system and all versions of the tables. The best way to avoid this is to first set a workarea context with the following command:
(execute) jr_context.set_workarea('&&workarea_name');
Then (in the same session) perform your query. The workarea context will ensure that the ci_views only contain those versions that are in the workarea, that is at most one version per object.
Hope this helps,
Sandra
