SETOPTION command

Use the SETOPTION command to show UIE that this is a Discovery run.

During the Discovery process, UIE can extract a UIE defined set of standard character fields or all UIE defined character fields. Or you can choose which fields to extract by specifying the fields list in the APPLDISCOVER command. For more information, see APPLDISCOVER-command.

Syntax

SETOPTION <discovery keyword>

Syntax explanations

A Discovery keyword can be specified as one of the following:

  • DISCOVER/DISCOVERSTANDARD—When this option is encountered in the command stream, the allocation of temporary files is set to NULLFILE, and the reading and processing of the input data continues as normal, with the exception that no information is written to temporary files except the requested Discovery fields. UIE will extract a set of standard fields for each subsystem type.
  • DISCOVERALL—When this option is encountered in the command stream, the allocation of temporary files is set to NULLFILE, and the reading and processing of the input data continues as normal, with the exception that no information is written to temporary files except the requested Discovery fields. UIE will extract all UIE defined character fields for each subsystem type.
  • DISCOVERNOPACKAGE/DISCOVERNOPACKAGESTANDARD—When this option is encountered in the command stream, the allocation of temporary files is set to NULLFILE, and the reading and processing of the input data continues as normal, with the exception that no information is written to temporary files except the requested Discovery fields. UIE will extract a set of standard fields for each subsystem type. UIE will also bypass the collection of Db2 package data information to avoid the count inflation caused by package processing.
  • DISCOVERNOPACKAGEALL—When this option is encountered in the command stream, allocation of temporary files is set to NULLFILE, and the reading and processing of the input data continues as normal, with the exception that no information is written to temporary files except the requested Discovery fields. UIE will extract all UIE defined character fields for each subsystem type. UIE will also bypass the collection of Db2 package data information to avoid the count inflation caused by package processing.
  • DISCOVERANDRUN—When this option is encountered in the command stream, UIE will execute the Discover function in addition to a regular UIE run to build a model and/or Visualizer file. You must also specify the APPLDISCOVER command and indicate which fields should be extracted for each subsystem.
Warning

Important

Use caution when specifying the APPLDISCOVER command. The amount of resources used by the UIE batch job will increase significantly. You should minimize the number of fields requested in this run, due to the excessive amount of CPU time required to collect the information. The amount of CPU time increases for each field collected.

For a list of fields that you can extract during the Discovery process, including the fields that are extracted when you specify standard or all, see  APPLDISCOVER-command.
