PH03493: INDEX OBJECTS DO NOT RESULT FROM EXPLODE BUTTON - EVEN THOUGH THE WILD-CARDED OBJECT PROFILE SPECIFIES "PROCESS INDEX" OPTION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the "Explode" button is clicked for a wild-carded object
  within an object profile, the resulting exploded list of Db2
  objects only includes table spaces and never any indexes,
  even if the user selected the "Process Index" option.
  The equivalent action in the ISPF UI results in the
  displaying of both table spaces and indexes.
  The cause of this bug lies in the request that the Web UI
  sends to the Autonomics Director server. It is not setting up
  the request parameters correctly.
  Discovered issues in the HAA Web UI:
  1) It appears that the Web UI is always setting the object
  type value to "T", which means "filter the returned results
  and only send back table space objects". By setting the value
  to "A" instead, they server will return any object type.
  2) Also, the "processIndexes" parameter value is not updated
  in the request, even though the user selected that option in
  the Web UI. The parameter value in the server request needs
  to match with the option that the user selected in the Web UI.
