Select the Objects for Export

After you have completed the entries on the EXPORT Process panel, you are prompted to select the definitions of the designated type to export. If you specify a single type, such as AD or TM, an appropriate Choose a Definition panel is displayed. However, if you specify ALL, a Choose panel is displayed for each object type in the order listed on the EXPORT Process panel.

If you do not explicitly name an object on a Choose panel, a selection list is displayed.
If you are exporting objects of one type and provide an explicit name, the Export Process is executed when you press ENTER. Alternatively, you can use END to cancel the Export Process and redisplay the EXPORT Process panel.
If you specify ALL object types on the EXPORT Process panel and provide an explicit name on a Choose panel, the Choose panel for the next type of object is displayed when you press ENTER. You can use END to bypass any object type and proceed to the next object type. Once you complete the Choose panel for the last object type, the Export Process is invoked.

In the following figure, the Choose panel used to select Access Definitions is displayed.

Access Definition: 
  Group  ===>

This panel is similar to the panel displayed when you select Option 5 ADS from the Main Menu. You can provide a three-part Access Definition name to select a specific Access Definition for export. You can leave one or more prompts blank or use DB2^® LIKE syntax to obtain a selection list of Access Definitions.

Selection List

Assume you have requested a selection list by specifying FOPDEMO for Group and SMITH for User on the Choose an Access Definition to EXPORT panel. The following selection list is displayed.

The Access Definitions with names that satisfy the selection list criteria are displayed in alphabetical order. The user that last modified each listed Access Definition and the date it was modified are also displayed. You can scroll the list.

Status

A blank Status indicates the object is not selected. When the selection list is displayed, Status is blank—no objects are selected. The word “SELECT” in Status, next to the object name, indicates an object is selected.

Select

On the selection list, you can select one or more objects using the S (Select) line command and deselect objects using the U (Unselect) line command.

Use the SELECT and UNSELECT primary commands when many objects are listed and you want to select or deselect most of them. For example, use SELECT ALL to select all objects on the list. You can then de-select specific objects, using the U line command. Conversely, use UNSELECT ALL to de-select all objects and the S line command to select the few you wish to export.

Selection Complete

Use END when your selections are complete. If you are exporting one type of object and:

Have selected one or more objects from the list, the Export Process is executed.
Have not selected an object from the list, the Choose panel is redisplayed. You can change the pattern for the selection list, specify the explicit name of an object, or use END without specifying an objects.

If you specified ALL objects on the EXPORT Process panel and:

Have selected one or more objects from the list, the Choose panel for the next type of object is displayed.
Have not selected an object from the list, the Choose panel is redisplayed. You can change the pattern for the selection list, specify the explicit name of an object, or use END without specifying any objects of the current type and display the Choose panel for the next object type.
