Browsing to an object set

You can browse to an object set either by adding a new object set view or by opening an existing object set view.

For each object set view, you create a filter that defines the object sets that are accessible in the view. Object set views are saved in the workspace.

Tip

In the DB2 Navigator perspective (Classic console), you can view the definition of an object set by clicking on the toolbar.

To open an existing object set view

New console

Open a workspace.
Open the Product Tools perspective and, in the navigation pane under Object Sets, select the Db2 connection that contains the object set.
Expand the list of object set views, and select the view whose filter will list the object set you want to see.
All object sets matching that filter are listed in the results pane.
In the results pane, navigate to and double-click the object set.
The object set definition is displayed.
