Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
    *                 and Db2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Object Compare drops and recreates      *
    *                      column masks or permissions when        *
    *                      the mask or permission is being         *
    *                      explicitly or implicitly dropped.       *
    ****************************************************************
    When attempting to explicitly or implicitly drop a column
    mask or permission, Object Comparison Tool incorrectly assumes
    the mask or permission needs to be dropped and recreated. This
    behavior results in an attempt at recreating masks or
    permissions on columns or tables that no longer exist.
