About this task

Procedure

  2. On the Enter Databases Like to Display panel, specify the following information to filter the list from which you may select databases:

               Enter Databases Like to Display            
                                                          
        Database   Like  *        Wildcard N  (Y or N)    
                                  Exclude  I  (E or I)    
                                                          
        Process Dependent Indexes Y  (Y or N)             
        Process Logical Relations Y  (Y or N)             
    • Specify a filter in the Database Like field to filter search results.
    • Specify Y in the Wildcard field to automatically add all objects that meet your criteria into the profile. An object list will not be presented. When the profile is used, IMS Recovery Expert dynamically expands the added name.
    • Specify I to include databases you select in the subsequent panel, or specify E to exclude them.
    • Specify Y in the Process Dependent Indexes field to dynamically include indexes that are dependent on the selected databases.
    • Specify Y in the Process Logical Relations field to dynamically include databases that are logically related to the selected databases.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. On the Include Database Selection panel, enter S in the Cmd line next to databases you would like to include or exclude, depending on what was specified on the Enter Databases Like to Display panel, and press Enter.
