As sequential file does not store in Table Definition folder, i want to create a utility in VisualStudio , so that it can get the metadata structure from a flat file and create a table definition in DataStage redable format.
Question is : Where to (which location ) place this table definition file in Unix box , so that table definition can be visible in DS designer ?
What will be the structure of Table defn file ?

A Sequential File table definition stores wherever you specify, which can certainly be the Table Definition folder. This is specified on the first screen of the import wizard. You don't need to create anything else.
And, if you didn't get that right, you can simply drag a table definition in the Repository to its new location.

If you are not using a schema file, the metadata is stored in the metadata repository (database).das_nirmalya wrote:I am talking about in Unix folder location, where data stage store its sequential file's metadata definition.
If you are using schema files, you can put the schema file anywhere that you like (you will reference the location in the sequential file stage).
