JDE INDEX SELECTION TOOL
Index Selection Tool
Database administrators drop indexes from tables in a physical database to increase system performance. Instead of using the actual database application to drop table indexes, you can use the Index Selection Tool (P95150).
The advantage of using P95150 to drop indexes is that Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne keeps track of the indexes that are dropped, even if the indexes have been restored or rebuilt.
For example, during a software update, the system restores indexes to tables that are affected by the update. Typically, after an update, you would have to perform another analysis to determine the indexes that need to be re-dropped. However, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne retains this information so that you can easily find the indexes that were previously dropped, reducing the time it takes to drop the indexes again.
Note. P95150 should only be used by system administrators or database administrators. Use Security Workbench (P00950) to apply the proper security to this application.
The P95150 program enables you to locate and display the table indexes in a tree structure. You expand the tree to view and flag the indexes that you wish to drop. You can flag a single index or multiple indexes at a time. The P95150 program only allows you to drop indexes that are not unique or primary to the table since dropping these types of indexes would disrupt the integrity of the table.
When you open a table in P95150, the program displays the table and all of its columns in a tree. Each item, or node, in the tree has an icon next to it. The Tree Node Key tab contains a description of each of these icons.
Dropping a Single Index from a Table
Access the Index Selection Tool form.The instructions in this section assume that you have already selected a table and a specific data source from which you want to drop the table index.
- Expand the data source node to view the indexes for the table.
- To flag an index, select an index and then click the Flag/Unflag Index button.
- To drop a single index, select a flagged index and then click the Drop Single Index button.
- On Drop Single Index, click one of these options and then click OK:
- Use proxy user and password
- Specify user and password
This option activates the Owner ID and Password fields, which you must complete before clicking OK.
- Use proxy user and password
- On the dialog box, click OK to continue.
