Using object sets

Object sets provide a facility for producing lists of objects on which services operate. For example, you can specify an object set if you want to apply an action only to certain objects or object types.

In an object set, you can enter object names or wildcard names. Object set entries can contain name patterns that specify Db2 objects to include or exclude from service generation. When working with object sets, first define and then associate them to one or more services when defining actions.

DASD MANAGER PLUS provides many types of object name patterns to select the Db2 objects to process and can dynamically run your own SQL to locate objects to process.

The following topics explain how to work with object sets in

Before you begin using object sets

Before using object sets, you should have an understanding of DASD MANAGER PLUS Actions.

Important

During object resolution, object sets use a Db2 temporary table.

For information about setting up this temporary database, see the Installation System documentation.
