Information Access Server: Planning and Configuring
Phase C. Translating Dictionary/3000 Definitions
Skip to Phase D if you don't use Dictionary/3000 or if none of the
information in your Dictionary/3000 data dictionaries needs to be
translated into your Information Access data dictionary.
You translate information from Dictionary/3000 data dictionaries by
running the Translator Utility, specifying a Dictionary/3000 data
dictionary (either on the host or on a configured remote system), and
specifying one or more databases to be translated.
Secondary DBAs become the controlling DBA for databases and tables they
add using the Translator Utility.
