Show and hide objects in a map

There may be times when you want to view only specific objects in your Database Navigator Map. For example, you may have a table that has indexes, primary keys, views, and check constraints associated with it, but you only want to view the check constraints. To do this, you can show or hide specific objects.

To show an object in a map:

  1. In the System i Navigator window, expand the system you want to use.
  2. Expand Databases.
  3. Click Database Navigator Maps.
  4. Double-click the map that you want to change.
  5. Select Show Objects from the View menu.
  6. Select the object that you want to show in your map. Objects that will appear in the map will have a check marks in front of them.

To hide an object in a map, deselect it.

Tip: Use the toolbar to select the object types that you want to show or hide in the map.
