Online display of Db2 long names


BMC AMI Recovery Manager

 supports objects having Db2 long names up to 128 bytes in length, including:

  • Object creator name
  • Index name
  • STOGROUP name
  • Collection name
  • Package name

The names are truncated to fit on the panels but can be fully displayed using panel options. You can also control how the names are truncated by setting configuration options (see Setting long name display options for a subsystem).

Displaying full text of Db2 long names (Zoom)

Display the full text of a long name by using either the Zoom action code or the F4 key, as follows:

  1. Enter Z in the Act field beside the object you want to view and press Enter or position the cursor anywhere in the field that you want to expand and press F4.A pop up panel displays the full text of both parts of the long name.
  2. Press F3 to close the pop up panel.

Setting long name display options for a subsystem

Set truncation options that direct which portion of a long name is truncated when displayed on a panel and what characters are used as the substitution string for the truncated part of the object name.
