Overview
IBM DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS makes it easy to compare and synchronize objects from different sources.

DB2 Object Comparison Tool helps you to compare and synchronize different DB2 object while maintaining system availability and object integrity.
- A GEN function which, in addition to extracting DDL, can also generate statements for the object authorizations and the catalog statistics.
- A batch compare feature that compares two version files, produces reports describing any of the object differences, and generates the information needed to apply the changes.
- Support for masking and ignore files, which address intentional differences and/or naming conventions, allow you to deal with only net changes between objects.
- What's New in Version 10.2? DB2 Object Comparison Tool is now customized using IBM Tools Customizer, a common component that simplifies the post SMP/E installation customization tasks for many of the IBM DB2 Tools. In addition, features were added to enhance change management within the product when used with DB2 Administration Tool 10.2. These changes include the ability to group multiple changes into one request, the ability to ignore and/or exclude changes found in the change process, apply and manage changes to one or more target system.
