Flexibility of Using LISTDEF Options

Db2 Automation Tool allow users to generate utility control statements using LISTDEFS.

There are many options that can be used with LISTDEF utility however Db2 Automation Tool does not provide this flexibility.

For instance we need to use DEFINED ALL statement to include undefined objects in MODIFY STAT utility to cleanup the old entires.

The current Db2 Automation Tool configuration allows only generate default LISTDEF control statements in which DEFINED parameter is set to YES.

This configuration cause old stats for DEFINED NO objects to accumulate.

Please consider enchanching the LISTDEF options in Db2 Automation Tool and provide flexibility of using different options of the LISTDEF utility.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request.

    LISTDEF DEFINED ALL is available via UI80739.

    Automation Tool supports LISTDEF Include, Exclude, Clone, RI, All (Auxiliary spaces), History, and Archive keywords via the object profile.

    Selecting the Exclude option in the object profile will prevent the object from being generated in the JCL vs actually displaying the EXCLUDE keyword.

    COPY Yes/No is available via Exception processing.

    LISTDEF options not currently supported via panel options in HAA:

    Basic and Extended.

    This can be done via advanced SQL in the object profile:

    To query objects with basic RBA values:

    SELECT A.DBNAME, NAME
    FROM SYSIBM.SYSTABLESPACE A
     ,SYSIBM.SYSCOPY B
    WHERE TTYPE = ‘B’
     AND A.DBNAME = B.DBNAME
     AND A.NAME = B.TSNAME

    To query objects with extended RBA values:

    Enter the same query as above for basic but change the TTYPE to = ‘E’ for extended.


    Please let us know if these options do not satisfy your request, or if we need to enhance our user guide and help text and we will revisit. You can also reach out to our support team if you need any assistance in setting up a customized job profile.
