End authority collection

Authority collection can be ended for a specified user.

The End Authority Collection (ENDAUTCOL) command stops the authority collection for the specified user. The ENDAUTCOL command must be run after all jobs that are running under the specified user have ended to ensure that all of the information for this user is collected. For DB2® objects of type *FILE, collecting authority information occurs during file open, subsequent file I/O, and the file close. A full close of the *FILE must be done for complete authority information to be collected for the object.

Authority collection for a specified user can be started by using the STRAUTCOL command and ended by using the ENDAUTCOL command. Authority collection can be restarted for a user after it has been ended by using the STRAUTCOL command. This provides the capability to collect additional authority data when the authority collection is restarted.

Ending authority collection for the user does not delete the authority collection repository. The data remains in the repository until the repository is deleted.
