Managing and restoring dialogs

In Object Comparison Tool, a dialog is a set of user selections for compare batch jobs. You can restore, rename, and delete any previously saved dialogs.

About this task

When you restore a dialog, it is restored in the display mode that was used when the dialog was saved. For example, if the dialog was saved in advanced mode, it is restored in advanced mode. If a dialog was saved before the display mode feature was introduced in Object Comparison Tool, the dialog is restored in advanced mode.

Procedure

To manage and restore dialogs:

On the DB2 Object Comparison Tool Menu (GOCMENU) panel, specify option M, and press Enter.

On the Saved Dialogs (ADB2SD) panel, specify the prefix for the data set with the saved dialogs, and press Enter.
