I recently had the problem, that all DIXF entities have been deleted in an environment. By following job I was able to restore them.

// Based on ClassesDMFDataPopulationcreateDefaultMapping
static void RecreateDMFEntities(Args _args)
{
    boolean             isFound;
    DMFEntity           dmfEntity;
    TmpDMFEntityList    entityDescription;
    Counter             c;

    entityDescription = DMFDataPopulation::getEntityList();

    ttsbegin;
    while select entityDescription
    {
        dmfEntity.EntityName         = entityDescription.EntityLabel;
        dmfEntity.EntityTypeName     = entityDescription.EntityName;
        dmfEntity.Mdm        = NoYes::No;
        isFound = dmfEntity.defaultModule(dmfEntity.EntityTypeName);

        if (isFound)
        {
            if (dmfEntity.validateWrite() &&
                ! DMFEntity::find(dmfEntity.EntityName))
            {
                dmfEntity.insert();
                c++;
            }
        }
    }
    ttscommit;
    
    info(strFmt("%1 entities created.", c));
}
