Deprecated feature: Generating a DTD

The dtdgen utility creates a document type definition (DTD) file to use with the loading utilities. The dtdgen utility uses an input text file containing a list of database table names and generates a DTD file describing the database, depending on how you invoke the dtdgen utility. The dtdgen utility can create a DTD file based on the WebSphere Commerce database schema. If you use the DTD files provided with the starter store archives and you do not modify the database schema, you do not need to generate a DTD file using the dtdgen utility.
