Saving dialogs

In Object Comparison Tool, you can save the current compare batch job selections, including the options on the Generate Compare Jobs (GOC5) panel and its subordinate panels, for later retrieval. This set of user selections is called a dialog. You can later restore this dialog or use this dialog to compare multiple sources and targets.

  1. On the DB2 Object Comparison Tool Menu (GOCMENU) panel, specify option S, and press Enter.
  2. On the Save Dialog (ADB2SDS) panel, specify the following information, and press Enter to save the dialog:
