Loading Sequence Values

The Data Administration tool and the Data Dictionary use a contents file that you specify to load sequence values into the database. Usually, this file is called _seqvals.d file.

Follow these steps to load sequence values into a database:

  1. Access the appropriate Data tool (the Data Administration tool if you are using a graphical interface or the Data Dictionary if you are using a character interface).
  2. Make sure that the working database is the target database where you want to load the table contents.
  3. Choose Admin Load Data and Definitions Sequence Current Values. The Data tool prompts you for the filename where you want to write the sequence values. The default filename is _seqvals.d.
  4. Specify the filename or use the default value. After the sequence values are loaded, the Data tool displays a status message and prompts you to continue.
  5. Choose OK to return to the Data Administration or Data Dictionary main window.
