Update the Clarify Schema

When using data restrictions with Dovetail Seeker it is required to update your Clarify Schema. You can change the Clarify schema with either Dovetail's SchemaEditor or Clarify's DDEditor.

Prior to making schema changes, backup the current database.

To make these changes using Dovetail SchemaEditor:

  1. Edit the .SchemaEditor file
  2. Preview the changes (SchemaEditor.exe -p).
  3. Apply the changes (SchemaEditor.exe -a).

To make these changes using Clarify DDEditor:

  1. Start the DDEditor program.
  2. To save a copy of the database schema to disk, select Save.
  3. Edit the saved schema file.
  4. Edit the datarestriction.sch file. Follow the directions in that file to cut/paste the schema changes into the saved schema file.
  5. Use the Apply Changes menu item to compile the new saved schema file.
  6. Exit DDEditor.
