DATABASE command

The DATABASE command specifies the name of the database that you want to add to the monitor list or update in the monitor list. There can be up to 9,999 DATABASE commands.

The following syntax diagram shows the syntax for the DATABASE command:


1  DATABASE( DBD(database_name) )

The Monitor List Registration utility supports adding or updating up to 9,999 databases entries in one job. However, the actual number of entries that can be added or updated in one job may be less depending on the system resource availability. If you want to add or update a large number of database entries, consider running multiple Monitor List Registration utility jobs.
