Creating Flat File Dictionaries

You can use Designer to create a flat file dictionary that contains definitions of records, composites, and fields that can be used across multiple flat file schemas.

Stage 1	Create the flat file dictionary. During this stage, you create the new flat file dictionary on Integration Server. For more information, see Creating a Flat File Dictionary.
Stage 2	Add Elements to the Flat File Dictionary. During this stage, you add elements to the Record Definition, Composite Definition, or Field Definition elements of the flat file dictionary. For more information, see Adding Elements to the Flat File Dictionary.
Stage 3	Set Properties for the Flat File Dictionary. During this stage, you set up the ACL (access control lists) permissions, configure the default record, allow undefined data, and specify floating records for your flat file dictionary. For more information, see Setting Properties for the Flat File Dictionary.
