Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Object Comparison Tool for  *
  *                 z/OS who compare two partition-by-growth     *

  * 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 which is not needed      *
  *                      when comparing the PBG table space.     *

  ****************************************************************
  Number of partitions for PBG table spaces were compared and
  '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 a PBG
  table space.
