CreateMap

Purpose

Determines whether the driver creates the internal files required for a relational map of the native data when establishing a connection.

Valid Values

session | forceNew | notExist

Behavior

If set session, the driver uses memory to store the internal configuration information and relational map of native data. A REST file is not created when this value is specified. After the session, the view is discarded.
If set to forceNew, the driver deletes the current REST file, internal configuration files, and relational map in the location specified by the SchemaMap property and creates a new set at the same location.
This causes all map customizations defined in the REST file in the location specified by the schema map property to be lost.
If set to notExist, the driver uses the current REST file, internal files, and relational map in the location specified by the SchemaMap property. If the files do not exist, the driver creates them.

Notes

Alternatively, you can refresh a schema manually at any time by using the Refresh Map statement. See "Refresh Map (EXT)" for details.
