From the Initial Screen of Glue Data Dictionary, you can create Glue Table from already existing External Table.

  • Glue Table – the name for newly created Glue Table

  • Description – description of new Glue Table

  • External table – the name of existing External table from which Glue Table will be created

  • Storage ID – defines storage where the external table exists

  • Package – the package where new Glue Table will be created

3. Proceed


4. New Glue table is created.

This table can be used for all available Glue features: Data Browser, Data extractions, and InfoProviders, but first you must manually specify data elements.
