Error description

  • When a change drops versioning for a temporal and history table
    pairing, and change option UNLOAD_ALTERED_TABLES is
    set to 'YES', CM Batch or Object Compare incorrectly
    reestablishes versioning for the tables.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Administration Tool for Z/OS    *
    *                 who use Compare to drop versioning from a    *
    *                 temporal and history table pairing, with the *
    *                 "Unload Altered Tables" option set to YES.   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: With UNLOAD_ALTERED_TABLES = 'Y',       *
    *                      Compare does not recognize drop         *
    *                      versioning for source tables and        *
    *                      instead maintains the versioning.       *
    ****************************************************************
    When UNLOAD_ALTERED_TABLES = Y, Compare processing
    that used to generate DROP/CREATEs now generates ALTERs.
    This difference in pathways causes Compare to think it needs to
    add versioning back when altering temporal and history
    tables.
    
    This fix ensures that the result of Compare when altering such
    tables is identical regardless of the setting of
    UNLOAD_ALTERED_TABLES, namely that when the table is altered to
    drop versioning the versioning is not added back afterwards.
