Add Option to Migrate Datasets that were Recalled as Part of a Scan

Please add an option so a user can specify that the LAT job submitted migrates any datasets (thinking archive log datasets here) that it had to recall to complete the scan. An example would be where a user attempts to scan multiple days in the pas...

Fast Apply - allow ALA@FSP to pass work to DSNTEP4 if unable to process query

We use IBM Fast Apply (program = ALA@FSP) to apply SQL statements we have generated (not coming from LAT as any undo/redo activity). The tool cannot handle everything that is supported by DSNTEP4. So, thought is to have it push the work to DSNETP4...

Add Ability to Specify Archive Datasets as Input for LAT Scan

A user will run a scan to create an archive file, or several scans over time, each creating a file. When he wants to revisit these, he has found he is only able to specify the start and end times in his window. It seems that LAT will read through ...

Add Ability to Pick/Choose Which "Warnings" Are Considered Fatal VS Acceptable

Support reporting against tables with a clone

The tool currently does not support reporting on tables if they have a clone table defined on them. The job ends with a code of 8 and message - ALAA506E-Base/Clone tables not supported This means that we cannot run a summary or detail report agai...

How can the objects be reported on when doing a QUIET TIME report using CORRID.

Using Quiet Time to recover objects for a CORRID. The report only has the available quiet times, but not the objects that were updated and need to be recovered. Need to run a summary report to get the objects.
