PH29393: DB2 OBJECT COMPARE ADD NEW MESSAGES IF MASK USED WITH EXCLUDE SPECIFICATION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Currently, Db2 Admin Tool displays the name of the excluded
  object in the exclude warning message ADB7132W.  For example:
  
  ADB7132W Tablespace >tablespace_name< is specified in
  target exclude specification.  This object is excluded.
  
  If a mask has been specified, however, the user has no way of
  knowing what the pre-mask name was, as this message includes
  only the post-mask name.
  
  This APAR adds two new messages to supplement the information
  in ADB7132W:
  
  ADB7153W: >pre-mask name< is masked as
  >post-mask name< during this compare run.
  
  
  ADB7160W: >object-type< >pre-mask name< is masked as
  >post-mask name< during this compare run.
  
  
  Keywords:  MSGADB7132W; MSGADB7153W; MSGADB7160W

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Object Comparison Tool for Z/OS *
  *                 who exclude objects that are masked.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Currently the Object Comparison report  *
  *                      provides only pre-mask names for the    *
  *                      objects in exclude message ADB7132W.    *
  *                      This can be confusing, as users         *
  *                      need to use the post-mask name when     *
  *                      specifying excludes.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  The report for excluded objects that have been masked does
  not specify the mask information, and uses the object name and
  qualifier before masking. This APAR adds new informative
  messages ADB7153W and ADB7160W to the report:
  
  ADB7153W: >object-type< >pre-mask name< is masked as
  >post-mask name< during this compare run.
  
  ADB7160W: >pre-mask name< is masked as >post-mask name<
  during this compare run.
