Work with DIDs

When speaking about a DID in the context of the ITP/SDK for iSeries one of two concepts is meant:

1. The DID as the whole of the Database Interface Definition; that which can be downloaded to the PC to create and run ITP Models with.
2. The DID as the set of DID level data in the ITP/SDK for iSeries database, often referred to as the DID information.

The DID as a whole consists of:

• the DID information
• the data of all the DID-Sources that are linked to the DID

The DID-information consists of:

• the primary DID attributes e.g., the name of the DID, an identification
• the set of DID-Sources linked to the DID
• the set of Main entries of the DID
• the set of User-defined functions of the DID

From the panel "Work with DIDs" the DID information can be manipulated.
