Information Access Server: Database Administration

What This Utility Lets You Do 

The Translator Utility gives you a quick, automated way to take
information already defined in a Dictionary/3000 data dictionary (on the
host or on a remote HP 3000) and add it to your Information Access data
dictionary.

The Translator Utility is helpful primarily in initially defining your
data, but you can also use it whenever you add new information to
Dictionary/3000 that you would also like to add to the Information Access
data dictionary.

In defining your data, use the utility after configuring remote systems
but before configuring databases.  You use the Translator Utility to
specify host or remote databases you want to translate.  The utility adds
to the Information Access data dictionary the definitions of the
databases you specify.  It then adds, as IMAGE tables, all the detail
datasets and manual master datasets defined for those databases in the
Dictionary/3000 data dictionary.
