Enabling or disabling table synchronization

The tables list on the dashboard of your Data Gate for watsonx instance allows you to add or remove Db2® for z/OS® tables individually from the synchronization process.

About this task

You cannot include or exclude VSAM or IMS tables individually. When synchronization has been started, all VSAM or IMS tables are synchronized (all or nothing). So, the procedure in this topic applies to Db2 for z/OS tables only.

Procedure

For Db2 for z/OS tables:

  1. Make sure that the Cloud Pak for Data perspective is selected. If necessary, click Icon (button) to change the perspective to change the perspective.
  2. On the side bar, click Instances.
    You see the Service instances page. All instances are listed in the Name column.
  3. Locate the row representing the instance that you want to view. Click the Open instance icon icon in that row. You might have to scroll to the right.
    You see the dashboard of your instance.
  4. Click the Table tab.
  5. Select the tables that you want to enable or disable by selecting the appropriate check boxes in front of the table name (in the check boxes column of the list).
    If the list of tables is long, you can use the search field above the list header. The field allows you to search for particular schema names or table names. Type the names in this field, either fully or partially, to display just the schemas or tables starting with or containing the search string.
  6. Depending on what you want to do, click one of the following buttons on the header of the tables list:
    • Enable.
    • Disable.
