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 against the base table.


We have a requirement to produce a daily detail report of activity by certain users or plans against the Production schema. This is effectively an audit of those users.

In the job, we specify -


OBJECT FILTERS-BY NAME....

TABLE OWNER=PROD_schema

TABLE NAME =%

PARTITION =0000

INC/EXC =I


As it stands, the job fails because the tool doesn't support tables with clones defined on them.


As a workaround, we therefore have to add -


TABLE OWNER=HMLR

TABLE NAME =Table_with_clone%

PARTITION =0000

INC/EXC =X


We are therefore unable to produce a report that show whether certain users or plans have done any update activity on the base table. We do not have a requirement to report on any activity for certain users against the clone.

    In our environment we need ALA support on CLONE tables for AUDIT reasons as well as for providing last resort recovery.
