The first time you display the Semantic Types dialog or the Select Semantic Type For
dialog, they display the i2 Semantic Type Library only. If there are any semantic types specific
to your organization (custom semantic types), you need to load these before assigning semantic types
to your data. The Semantic Type Library for your organization is saved in a file with a .
mtc file extension.
Procedure
-
Select .
- In the Semantic Types dialog, click Load.
- Select the required custom semantic type file (MTC) file, and click
Open. The tree view is updated to show all the semantic types in the
library.
Note: If you see any names ending 001, 002, and so on, there are duplicate names for the semantic
types in use in your organization. You need to remove the duplicates created in either this database
or another database. How you do this will depend on which database holds the central Semantic Type
Library for your organization. For details, see
Maintaining the semantic type library.
- If you load the wrong MTC file, click Cancel to remove the
library, otherwise when you click OK you will add the custom semantic types
to the current database.
