BMCHIST table


This topic describes the BMCHIST table, which contains information about completed executions of some BMC products for Db2. The installation options control use of the BMCHIST table:

  • HISTORY (for BMC AMI Copy, BMC AMI Recover, and UNLOAD PLUS)
  • BMCHIST (for REORG PLUS)

If the option value is NO, the utility bypasses any updates to the BMCHIST table. If the value is YES (or the utility does not use an installation option), the utility inserts rows into the BMCHIST table during the UTILTERM phase. There is no option for LOADPLUS.
