The Data View Explorer is a tab available in the AppMaster Builder perspective. Its purpose is similar to that of the Project Explorer in that it provides a tree view to serve as an inventory and as a starting point for accessing additional functionality.

Note: The Data View Explorer is available only from the AppMaster Builder perspective and not from the Team Developer perspective.

From the Data View Explorer, you can:

Browse the list of defined data views and view all data view components
Add new data views
Create new data sources for data views
Add existing data sources to data views
Modify existing data views and data view sources
Import previously generated data views
Generate data views
Filter the list of data views
Rename data view sources
Browse data view metadata files
Browse generated DDI symbol files
Access the DB2 catalog on a mainframe
Set data view properties
Remove or delete data views and data view sources
