 SNP Glue™ Database Utility: Main Screen


The user may choose between the database operations, truncate, or delete. After the user clicks Delete, the DDIC SNP Glue™ object is deleted the same way as in SNP Glue™ Data Dictionary. The user may delete also the corrupted DDIC SNP Glue™ objects by selecting Force Delete.
The button Truncate deletes only the content of a DDIC SNP Glue™ object. 

Both database operations may be launched in dialog or as a background job. The background processing should be used mainly for big DDIC SNP Glue™ objects because dialog jobs can timeout. The user can display the launched background jobs by using the transaction - SM37 Overview of job selection.


Please note that database operations are enabled only for DDIC SNP Glue™ objects with an Active status.
