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).
