Editing and deleting ignores in the Change Management database

You can add and delete fields from an existing ignore.

About this task

This procedure does not apply to ignores that have been created in an explicitly named data set outside of Change Management (CM). For information about how to view and edit ignores in a data set, see Specifying ignores (IBM Db2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS 13.1.0).

Procedure

To edit and delete ignores in the CM database:
  1. On the DB2 Administration Menu (ADB2) panel, specify option CM, and press Enter.
  2. On the Change Management (CM) (ADB2C) panel, specify option 3, and press Enter.
  3. On the Manage Ignores (ADB2C3) panel, specify option 1, and press Enter.
    The Ignores (ADB2C31) panel displays a list of ignores.
  4. If you want to delete an ignore: Issue the DEL line command for the ignore that you want to delete, and press Enter.
  5. If you want to edit an ignore:
    1. Issue the IL line command for the ignore that you want to edit.

      The Specify Ignore Fields: Objects (GOCCI) panel lists the Db2® catalog tables and the columns that are currently selected as ignore fields. (It also lists a GENERIC object and any selected generic ignores. See Generic ignores.)

      The following example panel shows that these fields will be ignored: the STGROUP, BPOOL, and INDEXPB fields in SYSDATABASE and the BPOOL field in SYSINDEXES and SYSTABLESPACES.

    2. Issue the U line command next to the Db2 catalog table (or GENERIC line) for which you want to update the ignore fields, and press Enter.
    3. On the Select Ignore Fields (GOCCIF) panel, use the U and S line commands to select or de-select a particular field to be ignored, and press Enter.
    4. Press F3 to return to the Specify Ignore Fields: Objects (GOCCI) panel.

      The selected fields are listed in the Ignore Fields column.

    5. Repeat steps 5.b through 5.d as needed to specify all the ignore fields that you want for the ignore.
  6. Press F3 until the Change Management (CM) (ADB2C) panel is displayed.
