PSAEAPPLDEFN AE header record; 1 row per app engine 1. Find the Temp Records (TAO) that are used:
PSAEAPPLSTATE AE state records (shows which one is the default) SELECT RECNAME FROM PSAEAPPLTEMPTBL WHERE AE_APPLID = 'MY_APP_ENGINE_NAME'
PSAEAPPLTEMPTBL AE temp tables assigned 2. If there are records, find the number of instances:
PSAESECTDEFN AE sections: public or private SELECT TEMPTBLINSTANCES FROM PSAEAPPLDEFN WHERE AE_APPLID = 'MY_APP_ENGINE_NAME'
PSAESECTDTLDEFN AE section: descriptions, market, DB Type, EFFDT, EFF_STATUS, and auto commit 3. For each table found in step 1, create as many instances as step 2 indicates.
AE PSAESTEPDEFN AE steps within section: description, market, DB Type, EFFDT, EFF_STATUS 4. Retrieve all the App Engine SQL:

SELECT SQLTEXT FROM PSAESTMTDEFN AE, PSSQLTEXTDEFN S WHERE AE.AE_APPLID = 'MY_AE' AND S.SQLID = AE.SQLID
PSAESTMTDEFN AE actions within AE step: Step type (SQL, Do Select, etc.) with SQLID. ORDER BY AE.SQLID, S.SEQNUM
PSAESTEPMSGDEFN AE message (parameters in each step) 5. Visually break apart all the SQL statements to list the tables referenced in the App Engine.
PSAEREQUESTPARM AE request parameters table behind the AE run control page. 6. Review all App Engine PeopleCode to see if any references to outside tables.
