When using Exclude for Target/Source and there is a mask, GOC should require only Target.

The application of the same exclude on SRC and TGT is going to be useful only in scenarios where the customer has a mask and wants to exclude the same objects on both SRC and TGT. In the case of only wanting to partially exclude either a SRC or a ...

Modify the Revoke Impact program to support BY=ALL.

GOC should have the intelligence to know when to generate a rebind not using option (A, M, N) on the panel which causes unnecessary rebinds generated

Rebinds should be generated when needed not by using option (A, M, N) . The help panels and user guide have been updated to clarify option "A" means "All relevant. Run the rebind on all packages that reference any of the modified objects." Option ...

Remove messages such as Grant(source): Grantor=CONTROLM Grantee:DB2DEVGP (Not propagated) from the Compare Report. Compare Report should only list what is going be changed.
