Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Administration Tool for     *
  *                 z/OS and the DB2 Object Comparison Tool      *
  *                 for z/OS who use the change management       *
  *                 batch (CM Batch) interface functionality     *
  *                 to compare and run changes.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using the CM Batch interface to    *
  *                      compare source DDL with target catalog, *
  *                      a set of delta change statements are    *
  *                      generated that needs to be registered   *
  *                      as a change, follwed by ananalyze and   *
  *                      run to apply the desired changes to     *
  *                      the catalog. A pure batch method is     *
  *                      needed to eliminate this process of     *
  *                      going through ISPF panels change        *
  *                      management, by providing the ability    *
  *                      to generate and run the changes via     *
  *                      a work statement list (WSL).            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Customer needs the ability to generate a non-CM Work Statement
  List (WSL) using the CM Batch interface and also the ability to
  run the non-CM Work Statement List via the CM batch interface,
  so that they do not have to track and execute them via the ISPF
  panels change management process.
  
  The following two new batch parameters are added to provide this
  enhancement:
  
  ACTION_GENERATE_WSL:
    The action_generate_wsl parameter specifies whether to
    generate a work statement list when action_compare='Y'. This
    option is ignored when action_compare parameter is not
    provided or set to 'N'.
  
    Values: Y, N
    Y - A work statement list will be generated when
        action_compare= Y .  Such a work statement list
        can be run directly by specifying action_run_wsl= Y
    N - Do not generate a work statement list.
    Default:  N
  
  ACTION_RUN_WSL:
    The action_run_wsl parameter specifies whether to run a work
    statement list.
  
    Values: Y, N
    Y - Run the work statement list.  PDS_FOR_WSL parameter must
        be provided to indicate the PDS where the work statement
        list resides.  WOKLIST_NAME parameter must be provided to
        specify the PDS member.
    N - Do not run a Work statement list.
    Default:  N
  
  
  The following existing batch parameters are used to specify work
  statement list information:
  
  PDS_FOR_WSL, WORKLIST_NAME
  
  Following new messages are added:
  
  ADB9966I
  Type: Informational
  Message: Compare CHG . . . . . : >data set name<
  User action: None
  System action: Processing continues
