Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Object Comparison Tool for  *
  *                 z/OS who compare two partition-by-growth     *
  *                 (PBG) table spaces.                          *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS     *
  *                      compares NUMPARTS of a PBG table space  *
  *                      and generates 'ALTER TABLE ADD          *
  *                      PARTITION' statement in the CHANGE      *
  *                      file.                                   *
  *                                                              *
  *                      The Compare program compares the        *
  *                      NUMPARTS field but the comparison       *
  *                      is not needed for PBG table space.      *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The number of partitions for PBG table spaces were compared
  and the 'ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION' statement was generated
  in the CHANGE file.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem has been solved.
  A new ignore field PBG_NUMPARTS for GENERIC has been added on
  panel GOCCIF 'Select Ignore Fields for GENERIC'.  The user can
  select this field to ignore the compare for NUMPARTS of PBG
  table spaces.
