Selecting the Tables

The selection of the Microsoft Access tables that you wish to export to ADABAS has a decisive influence on the performance of your application.

A good Microsoft Access client/server application consists of a mixture of local tables and tables in the server database. As a general rule, tables that are seldom modified should be kept in the local database and tables that are often modified or are accessed by a large number of users should be exported.

Note: Tables previously migrated and renamed by the Upsizing Wizard do not appear in the list of available tables. You can alter this by giving the tables the suffix "_local" before starting the Upsizing Wizard.

On the left-hand side of the dialog box you will find the list of Microsoft Access tables. Enter all the Microsoft Access tables that you wish to export to ADABAS on the right-hand side. You must select at least one Microsoft Access table to start the migration process.

Use the arrow buttons to move individual tables or all tables from the list on the left to the list on the right or vice versa. Use the Add button to move the currently selected entry from the list on the left to the list on the right.

The Info button lets you view the definition of a selected Microsoft Access table. This is useful if you wish to know what fields are contained in a table before you export it to ADABAS.

Once you have finished your selection, click on the Next button.
