Outputs of change results
The primary output from Execution is the modified data structures that are stored in the Db2 catalog and any cataloged output from the utilities such as image copy data sets.
However, the exact nature of these modifications depends on the content of the worklist that is being executed. In addition to the Db2 modifications, Execution produces a diagnostic output file.
The diagnostic output file, also called a worklog or SYSOUT, is a log or audit trail of all input statements shown in their entirety before execution. The worklog also contains the responses that are caused by those actions. It is the primary tool for tracking events during execution. The worklog ddname is AEXPRINT.
When Execution runs component programs, it captures the SYSPRINT outputs from those programs in the worklog. Lines beginning with a colon (:) echo the input worklist commands to the worklog. All other lines are generated by Execution.
When a worklist is executed in parallel in the Database Administration solution, Execution produces the output files listed in Output-for-parallel-worklists.
