| System Requirements |
Toad for DB2 is a database development and administration solution that provides productivity features for rapidly creating and executing queries, automating database object management, developing SQL code, and instant access to DB2 expertise.
Developers and administrators have access to a community of users, peers, and experts to help solve development and administration issues and assist in developing applications and feedback for improving Quests products.
All of this comes with the backing of Quest Software, a healthy and growing corporate entity that can provide the necessary training, support, and superior customer service demanded by IT management.
The latest Toad for DB2 4.7 Beta drop includes fixes and new enhancements. Additional new atures, enhancements and fixes will be introduced throughout the Beta cycle.
Click to review updates and new features in the following areas:
Now when select more than one object in the Database Explorer and select Generate SQL | To File | Creation Script you have the option of having Toad create individual files for each object, or one file containing all objects.

Toad has introduced a new Collaboration feature that allows you to view RSS and Twitter feeds, including Toad Community postings from within Toad. You can access the Collaboration window from View | Collaboration. Once open, you can click any entry to open the related content.

When you open the Collaboration window, it polls all RSS and Twitter feeds that you have defined in the Collaboration options page (Tools | Options | Environment | Collaboration). The first time you open the Collaboration window, the options page automatically displays.

In the Collaboration options
page, you can also define your Twitter account details and a
Twitter search to follow in Toad. The search defaults to a
specific search depending on which product you use. By default,
any posts in Toad are posted to this specific search.
In the Collaboration window, you can click at the top of the
window to compose a new entry. You can select the drop-down
arrow beside the icon to select which feed you want to post to.
To post to Twitter, use the entry field at the bottom of the
window. When using Twitter, if you click an item in the list, an
appropriate reply entry is entered in the field. If the post
contains a link, that link is opened in the Web Browser as well.
To post an update, press ENTER or click the lower-right Twitter
icon. If you click the camera icon to the right of the twitter
icon, you can toggle whether you want to include a screen shot
of Toad with your post (After posting, this option always
reverts back to false).

If you manually changed the positions of windows and want to restore windows to their default location, you can now do so by using the "Reset Windows Location" button found on the Options | Interface page.

Now when clicking on an object in the Database Explorer with the middle mouse button, a new document will open up displaying the details of that object.
Click a category in the list to view the features and updates for this release:
The Object Compare Wizard now displays a visual difference viewer to easily identify changes across database objects:
Toad continues to introduce support port for important DB2 for LUW 9.7 features.

















Database Level Backup:


Tablespace level backup:


Toad now includes support for additional LUW Tablespace actions of: Rebalancing Containers, Reducing Containers, and Lowering the High Water Mark for specific tablespaces.
Toad now displays general system and instance information for LUW databases (v9.1 or greater) in the Database Explorer.
On the Database/Monitor tab, you can now reset charts via a button on the toolbar or right-click menu.
The results of resetting charts removes all data points in all charts as shown below.


Toad continues to introduce new features and support for important DB2 for z/OS v9.1 features.


In the Recovery dialog you can easily view and select your recovery dataset.

Now when defining templates on a DB2 v9.1 subsystem the new Template 'switching' values can be specified as shown below.

The 'New template' value is the name of a defined template whose definition will be used if the Limit/Limit unit values are exceeded during utility execution. Toad will generate the appropriate Template statements in scripts to support this new v9.1 feature.




Toad has added the Rename Index feature that allows you to easily rename DB2 on z/OS v9.1 Indexes.




Custom options that control those formats:
You can now right-click and send an Alias to the Query Builder


You can now expand schemas to see other items that are associated with them from code completion. You can view these items by clicking the + sign or by pressing CTRL+RIGHT.
You can use the new toolbar at the bottom of the code completion list to change the following code completion options (in order): Apply filter to editor, Include system objects, Merge secondary items.

The z/OS Load Utility Editor
The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in the current release:
|
Feature |
Resolved Issue |
Defect/Enhancement ID |
Drop |
| Table Editor | |||
| Toad was generating an extended alter when a Table Column's default value was removed. Toad now generates a native table alter - alter column drop default. | CR67094 | 4.7.0.353 | |
| Object Migration/Compare | |||
| When an Object Migration/Compare wizard completes it generates two scripts. One script to be run against the source (for example to extract data) and the second script to execute on the target (for example to create target objects and load data). The Wizards used to set context to the target script upon completion. Now context will be set to the source script as that script is required to be executed first. | CR72087 | 4.7.0.353 | |
| z/OS Tablespace Alter |
z/OS Tablespace Editor: Request to allow a user to alter a segmented
tablespace to a partitioned or universal tablespace. Toad now supports
such alters. |
CR68049 | 4.7.0.353 |
| Data Grid | Request to have separate formats for Date, Time and Timestamp columns in the grid. | CR62009 | 4.7.0.353 |
| Object Search | Request to display column datatypes and lengths in the Object Search Results | CR67389 | 4.7.0.353 |
| DB2 LUW Database Monitor Tab | Request to be able to reset the charts - to remove all points and start over | CR73037 | 4.7.0.353 |
| DB2 LUW Tablespaces List | Request to have the Bufferpool name displayed in the list of Tablespaces | CR72863 | 4.7.0.353 |
| Object Compare | Request to have a visual difference viewer in the Object Compare wizard |
CR67395 CR71376 |
4.7.0.353 |
| DDL Generation | In the 4.7 Beta - Alias DDL is being omitted from scripts generated for Extract DDL, Extended Alters, Compares and Migrations. | CR74019 | 4.7.0.395 |
| z/OS Tablespace Extended Alter | The generated script for an extended alter for a z/OS partitioned table does not include the necessary drop statements. | CR74082 | 4.7.0.395 |
| Object Compare | When comparing objects across different database versions, some new attributes, only available in the later version of DB2 could cause differences to be flagged. Work will continue throughout the beta cycle to correct those issues. | N/A | 4.7.0.395 |
| Dependencies | Toad now displays the creator of synonyms in the dependency tree. | CR67870 | 4.7.0.429 |
| Explain Plan | Toad has updated the DDL for explain plan tables changes for DB2 LUW v9.7 and DB2 z/OS v9.1. |
CR69949 CR69955 |
4.7.0.429 |
| Privileges | Toad now includes support (Grant/Revoke) for the DB2 z/OS DEBUGSESSION privilege. | CR70892 | 4.7.0.429 |
| Table Properties | OBID is now displayed on z/OS Table properties. | CR69294 | 4.7.0.429 |
| Function/Procedure Templates | Toad improved the Template feature for Function and Procedure database objects. Now all properties of those objects are templatable. | CR72045 | 4.7.0.450 |
|

Several parsing issues may arise when parsing the body of Stored
Procedures. These include miss-parsing of TRUNCATE TABLE statements and
miss-parsing of Labels within procedure bodies. |
CR76165 | 4.7.0.558 |
The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of the Toad for DB2 release.
|
Feature |
Known Issue |
Defect ID |
| Database Level Compare | We have disabled the Compare/Migration feature at the DB2 LUW Database level and plan to re-introduce that with improved performance in a subsequent future release. | N/A |
| General |
Attempting to launch Toad
results in a System.Security.Policy.PolicyException error.
Workaround: |
CR166752 Case 408845 |
| Customized options defined in Toad's Configuration wizard are not applied if you are running as a Restricted user. | CR216699 | |
|
As a security measure in Windows Vista, when a standard user belonging to an Administrators group launches a
process and the Vista User Access Control security feature is
enabled, the process launches with only standard user privileges.
However, under these restricted privileges, Toad can have problems cataloging DB2
systems (including transferring a DB2 catalog at Toad setup) and running
utilities through CLP, thus affecting advanced alters and other Toad
functionality.
Additionally, this user does not have write access to the Toad default storage folder (the Toad installation folder) where files, such a the license key file and export profiles generated in the Client Configuration wizard, are stored when no explicit path is specified. Instead, Vista automatically copies files to C:\Users\db2admin\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for DB2 version. The Toad user can have the following issues:
Workaround: |
N/A | |
The Toad db2cli.ini file defines that Toad connects
to the catalog node on multi-partitioned DB2 for LUW databases.
To change the node to which Toad connects, use the
following steps to edit the file:
|
53860 | |
|
If a Vista standard user belonging to an Administrators group has launched
Toad with the Vista User Access Control security feature enabled, the
user cannot open a Spotlight on DB2 for z/OS session within Toad due to
insufficient privileges. Workaround: |
60819 | |
| Installation/ Upgrade/Uninstall |
The Toad for DB2 installation process installs a DB2 client in the specified Toad installation path. If the user chooses to override the default Toad installation path, the new path cannot include Unicode characters because the DB2 client installation does not support such characters. | N/A |
| Network and LAN installations are currently not supported. | N/A | |
|
If a Vista standard user belonging to an Administrators group attempts to
uninstall Toad when the Vista User Access Control security feature is
enabled, the uninstall might hang.
Workaround: |
52914 | |
| If a DB2 for LUW 7 client is installed on the machine where you are installing Toad, you must upgrade the DB2 client to version 8 before installing Toad to avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools. |
CR192879 Case 462823 | |
| Connections |
If you migrate settings from a previous version, the following options
in Tools | Options Database | DB2 might point to paths
from the previous version instead of the newly installed version:
If you later delete the previous version's Toad for DB2 directory where these directories reside, you receive a "path not found" error when you attempt to connect to a database. (You can click OK and continue working.) Workaround: For Windows 2003 or XP
For Windows Vista or 7
|
68623 |
| Data Reports | Currently, you cannot create a Label Report in the Toad Data Report wizard. |
42133 CR215945 |
| Database or Object Explorer | ||
|
Performance problems might occur when browsing a large number of
database objects. Workaround: |
CR220761 CR220757 | |
| Debugger |
You might encounter issues with initializing Unified Debugger sessions
if the version of the DB2 for LUW server on which you are debugging is earlier than 9.7 Fixpak 2. Workaround:
Notes:
|
N/A |
| Currently, the debugger does not support Unicode schema names. |
41770 CR184638 | |
|
After a STEP OUT request, the Debugger momentarily returns to the line
just after the call to the inner procedure and then proceeds to execute
to the end of the calling procedure. Workaround: |
69377 | |
| Editor | ||
The following object types are not found when using the View Object at
Cursor feature:
|
41627 CR164917 | |
| When you edit a script in Toad, you must delimit SQL identifiers that begin with @ to differentiate these identifiers from named parameters. For more information, refer to the following IBM documentation: |
CR224375 Case 552946 | |
| Export Wizard/One Click Export | Binary data types cannot be exported in this release. |
41665 CR170430 Case 419715 |
| Migration/Object Compare/Schema Compare | ||
| (DB2 for LUW only) If the source schema contains a table alias with the same name as the target schema, synchronizing the schemas results in the target schema name being replaced with the actual table name from the source table. | CR140343 | |
|
Schema Compare synchronization does not create tablespaces on target to
synchronize tablespace differences. Workaround: |
41983 CR210132 Case 491910 | |
| (DB2 for z/OS only) A comparison of materialized query tables generates an "undefined name" error. |
42913 CR228511 | |
| (DB2 for LUW) The Object Compare synchronization script is not generating the required DROP statements for target functions and procedures that need to be recreated to synchronize them with those on the source. | 53435 | |
| (DB2 for z/OS) Toad supports the migration and synchronization of LOB object DDL, but does not support the migration or preservation of LOB data. | 53640 | |
|
(DB2 for z/OS) During synchronization, Schema Compare fails to create
the partitioned tablespace in which to place an index-controlled
partitioned table. Workaround: |
61109 | |
|
(DB2 for z/OS) During synchronization, Schema Compare places a newly
created index-controlled partitioned table in an implicit tablespace,
instead of the intended partitioned tablespace. A DB2 error is generated
during the creation of the partitioned index. Workaround: |
61112 | |
| (DB2 for z/OS) When synchronizing partitioned indexes, Schema Compare fails to create the partitioned tablespaces in which to place the partitioned tables that the indexes control. | 63613 | |
| (DB2 for z/OS) Schema Compare synchronization is creating auxiliary tables in temporary tablespaces, instead of creating them in the proper existing (empty) tablespaces. | 64130 | |
| When preserving target data, Schema Compare and Object Compare generate scripts that list columns for the re-created tables in source-table order, which can be different from the order in which the target data is unloaded. | 64749 | |
| During Object Compare synchronization, the Unload Dataset template incorrectly inserts the source subsystem ID in the Unload Dataset name in the target script. | 70732 | |
| Object Management | ||
| Toad supports scripting, creation, and alteration of nicknames that are based on DRDA-type wrappers only. | N/A | |
| (DB2 for z/OS only) When you alter a table to reduce the size of a column referenced in other tables via RI, the LOAD phase in the advanced ALTER fails with a DSNU334I INPUT FIELD INVALID error. The load cards show the original column length. | 44753 | |
| Project Management |
When you open Project Manager for the first time, the message "Error
loading previous project file..." might occur. Workaround: |
70794 |
| Quest IBM DB2 z/OS Component | The current version of the Quest IBM DB2 z/OS component is 4.5.2. (No changes were made to this component for the Toad for DB2 4.6 release or the 4.7 beta.) However, the Quest IBM DB2 z/OS Component Installation Guide erroneously refers to the current component version as 4.6. | N/A |
| LUW Index DDL | There is a bug in the 4.7 beta where Toad will generate an invalid "IN" clause in index DDL. | CR74076 |
| SQL Analysis for LUW | SQL Analysis does not provide support for Unicode, multi-language, or Microsoft cluster environments. | N/A |
|
DB2 truncates dynamic SQL statement text in a DB2 event monitor when
deadlock monitoring is enabled in SQL Analysis. The truncated statement
text displays in SQL Analysis with three consecutive periods (. . .) at
the end. Workaround: |
N/A | |
| Version Control | ||
| Currently Version Control handles only DB2-standard schema names and file and folder names that are compatible with the underlying Version Control repository. |
42184 CR217475 | |
| You currently cannot check object list definitions into version control. |
42188 CR217524 |
The following is a list of third party issues known to exist at the time of the Toad for DB2 release.
|
Feature |
Known Issue |
Defect ID |
| General | ||
| You cannot insert a double-byte character into a database with a single-byte codepage. IBM PMR30857,756,000 states that this configuration is not supported. |
CR220327 Case 537948 |
|
| Connections to Toad are lost, generating SQL0902 errors from the .NET driver. IBM has opened PMR 47384,756,000 to investigate this issue. |
56141 Case 669950 |
|
|
Installation/ Upgrade |
You cannot install DB2 for LUW 8 on the same system that already has Toad for
DB2 3.0 installed. This problem exists because of a current DB2 limitation in
which DB2 for LUW 8 cannot be installed on a system on which DB2 for LUW
9 resides. (Toad for DB2 includes a customized version of DB2 for LUW 9.) Workaround: If you need to install DB2 for LUW 8, uninstall Toad, install DB2 for LUW 8, and then reinstall Toad. For more information, refer to the Release Notes for IBM DB2 9 for Linux, Unix, and Windows. |
CR187913 |
|
An SQL0805N error occurs when performing a DML statement on a database. Workaround: |
CR220160 | |
| Database Explorer/ Object Explorer | Schemas containing empty names are not supported. |
CR133127 CR133139 |
| On SAP databases, an exception occurs when trying to access the Grants tab for a given object or to access an object tab for a given user or group to view assigned privileges. | 70271, 70270 | |
| Data Grid | (DB2 for LUW) Attempting to update a table column value that is not generated causes an error when another column in the table is defined as GENERATED ALWAYS. IBM has opened PMR 48511,756,000 to investigate this issue. | 51035 |
|
You cannot add data to tables that include columns that have the GENERATED
ALWAYS AS option enabled. The IBM Command Builder generates the INSERT statement
and includes the generated always column, which results in the following error:
"A value cannot be specified for column "GEN" which is defined as GENERATED ALWAYS. SQLSTATE=428C9" Workaround: |
CR142504 | |
|
(DB2 for z/OS)
A Microsoft .NET Framework issue causes an exception error when you attempt to
browse the Data tab for a table containing a decimal value with a precision
greater than 28 or 29. This error is due to a limitation in the .NET Framework in which the maximum
decimal that the Framework can handle is 10^31 with 0 decimal. To view details
about this issue, see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xtba3z33(vs.71).aspx.
Workaround:
Note: When using this workaround, if the number of characters is less than 32, leading zeros display. |
CR186529, CR186535 |
|
| Timestamp data causes exceptions when you click the Data tab or attempt to query the table. This issue is related to the IBM DB2 APAR IY87346. | CR220839 | |
| Debugger | When compiling with debug, disable AutoCommit (Tools | Options | Database | General) to allow a rollback if there is a problem when dropping and creating the procedure. Once you successfully create the procedure, commit the changes before starting the debugging session. | N/A |
| The Debugger is not advancing to the next line under certain circumstances. | 70691 | |
|
(DB2 for LUW) The following error message is displayed when you attempt to modify a
watch value during a Debug session on a DB2 for LUW 9 database: "ERROR [57011] [IBM][DB2/NT] SQL0954C Not enough storage is available in the application heap to process the statement. SQLSTATE=57011" The call to modify the watch value fails on DB2, and the server runs out of heap memory.
Workaround: |
CR188846 | |
| (DB2 for z/OS) A message stating that a procedure is not compiled with the Debug code, when in fact it is, is being generated. This issue is due to an error in the z/OS implementation of Create_Session. | CR207662 | |
| (DB2 for LUW) The "Unable to initialize debug session" error that is generated when you attempt to debug procedures in DB2 for LUW is a DB2-related issue. A future release of a DB2 unified debugger should help reduce the occurrence of this issue. |
CR213765 Case 517909, 529227 |
|
| Editor | ||
| (DB2 for LUW) Dropping a nickname does not drop its primary key. This issue (PMR 30432,756,000) was fixed in DB2 9.1 Fixpak 3. |
42503 CR223155 |
|
| On SAP databases, RUNSTATS execution generates SQL0873 encoding errors. | 70267 | |
|
Attempting to create an object in the Editor when the schema selected from
the drop-down list in the Editor toolbar is different than the schema you logged
into, results in an error. Toad issues a SET CURRENT SCHEMA statement the
first time you execute a script/statement. Workaround:
|
CR183855 | |
| Export Wizard/One Click Export | ||
|
If you use the Export wizard to export result sets to an Excel instance, the
Excel spreadsheet shows dates in the wrong format. This issue occurs only when
using the Microsoft Office German edition. Workaround:
|
68732 | |
|
Date formatting issues occur when exporting table data to an Excel file
or instance. These issues seem to occur especially when exporting dates
previous to 1900. Workaround: |
70817 Case 785690 |
|
|
In order to export to an Office 2003 or 2007 Excel instance, the Office 2003
Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) must be installed. You can install the PIAs
from one of the following locations: |
CR138239 | |
| Extract DDL | On SAP databases, attempting to extract DDL for a database generates SQL0873N encoding errors. These errors also occur when extracting DDL on objects and their dependencies, which include the database. | 70269 |
| Migration/Object Compare/Schema Compare | (DB2 for LUW) You cannot synchronize schemas if the Code Pages on the compared schemas do not match. | CR141383 |
| Object Management | ||
| You cannot create a DB2 8 database from a DB2 9 client. Therefore, you cannot use Toad's DB2 LUW Create Database wizard to create a DB2 8 database. | N/A | |
|
(DB2 for z/OS) Attempting to drop a distinct type or sequence with a delimited
blank name results in following error due to server side abends: "IBM][CLI Driver] CLI0108E Communication link failure. SQLSTATE=40003" This is a known IBM DB2 issue and IBM has opened APAR PK3269 to track this issue. |
N/A | |
| (DB2 for z/OS) In some cases, a user can revoke INSERT privileges on a table for the owner and cause a cascading revoke of privileges for any user (including the revoker) who was granted privileges by the table owner. This is a known IBM DB2 issue and IBM has opened APAR PK30558 to track this issue. | N/A | |
|
(DB2 for z/OS) The following DB2 error is generated when you try to refresh an MQ table: "ERROR [58031] [IBM] SQL1034C The database is damaged..." This error is identified in APAR PQ97328. The APAR states that, if the statement text in the CREATE TABLE statement for a materialized table is more than 4K, the statement text stored in the SYSVIEW.VIEWS catalog table entries for the table (after the first three sequence number entries) contains unusable data. The APAR has been fixed with PTF UK00557. However, any materialized tables created before this fix need to be dropped and recreated and REFRESH rerun. |
N/A | |
| (DB2 for LUW) Running queries or performing database administrative tasks in Toad on DB2 databases running on an AIX 5.2 machine can cause the DB2 instance to crash. IBM has addressed this issue with APAR IY79365. | 57962 | |
| (DB2 for LUW) db2bp.exe can fail with a Windows error during advanced alters, migrations, Object Compare synchronization, and regular object management. IBM has issued APAR JR33088 to address this issue. | 59491 | |
| Space Management | (DB2 for LUW) APAR IY90197 states: RUNNING SNAPSHOT TABLE FUNCTIONS CAN CORRUPT MEMORY INSIDE THE DB2FMP (C) PROCESS DUE TO STACK OVERFLOW. This issue was fixed in DB2 8.1 Fixpak 14. | N/A |
| SQL Analysis for DB2 LUW | Databases on DB2 for LUW 8.1 (with FixPaks 1 through 4 applied) generate deadlock events that show a zero lock-wait start time. IBM has addressed this issue with APAR JR18739 in DB2 8.1 FixPak 5. | N/A |
| Stand-alone Utilities (DB2 for LUW) | On SAP databases, SQL0873N encoding errors occur when running Reorg Tables, Reorg Indexes, or Runstats. | 70362 |

db2set DB2LDAPHOST=hostname[:port]
The port number defaults to 389 (default LDAP port) if you leave the port number blank.
Databases on the LDAP server should now be available from the Database Alias drop-down list in the Connections window. To complete the Toad connection setup, you must create a Toad profile for each database. See Create Toad Connection Profiles for DB2 in the Toad for DB2 Installation Guide.
Certain Toad functions require that the DFT_MON_BUFPOOL database manager configuration parameter be set to ON to capture information on containers used in DB2 for LUW databases. Additionally, to capture container information across all partitions in a multi-partition database, the snapshot monitor requires that all database partitions be active. To activate all database partitions (and keep them active), execute the DB2 command ACTIVATE DATABASE real_database_name on the server before connecting Toad to the database. See your IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows documentation for more information about this command.
See the Toad for DB2 Installation Guide for the list of requirements.
To have access to the full range of Toad functionality for managing DB2 for z/OS subsystems, make sure that you have completed the following:
Install the Quest IBM DB2 z/OS Component 4.5.2 on each DB2 for z/OS subsystem. The z/OS component allows you to perform the following functionality in Toad:
Bind and rebind DB2 for z/OS packages and plans
Invoke DB2 for z/OS utilities and commands within scripts that Toad for DB2 generates for advanced alters, migrations, and data and object synchronizations
Run stand-alone DB2 for z/OS utilities and commands available with UIs in Toad
Run DB2 for z/OS commands from the Editor
Execute remote DB2 for z/OS scripts
Create, alter, or drop dataset templates
Use Toad UIs to run DISPLAY, START, and STOP commands on DB2 for z/OS databases, tablespace, and indexes
Access accurate buffer-pool information for the DB2 subsystem
View volumes available for defining storage
View dataset information for tablespaces and indexes
Access information about current threads connected to the DB2 subsystem
Assign a RACF group to a Toad Security role to control the Toad features available to all users belonging to the RACF group
If you currently have the Quest Central for DB2 z/OS component or a pre-4.5.2 Quest IBM DB2 z/OS component installed on your DB2 subsystem, perform an upgrade. Use the instructions found in Upgrade and Compatibility.
If the neither the Quest Central for DB2 z/OS component nor a previous Quest IBM DB2 z/OS component currently exists on your DB2 subsystem, perform a new installation of Quest IBM DB2 z/OS Component available with this release of Toad for DB2. Use the instructions found in the Quest IBM DB2 z/OS Installation Guide (available from the Windows Start menu under Program Files | Quest Software | Toad for DB2 | Documentation).
Note: A 32K character-size limit exists for each utility statement executing through DSNUTIILU.
User-defined indexes on specific system catalog tables can improve performance when you are browsing DB2 for z/OS objects in Toad. The following link contains the DDL for indexes that can optimize Toad performance on your DB2 for z/OS subsystem. Keep in mind that the creation of these indexes is a recommendation only. The indexes can have different results in different environments, depending on the number of DB2 objects and the amount of data involved. To create these indexes, edit and run the DDL contained in the following file:
http://www.toadsoft.com/toaddb2/ReleaseNotes/Latest/ToadDB2zOSIndexes.txt
Additionally, if the schema drop-down lists in the Object Migration wizard populate slowly, consider creating an index on the SCHEMA and CREATOR columns in the catalog table for each object type. Here is a list of some of the object-type tables:
SYSIBM.SYSSYNONYMS
SYSIBM.SYSSEQUENCES
SYSIBM.SYSROUTINES
SYSIBM.SYSTABLES
SYSIBM.SYSDATATYPES
SYSIBM.SYSINDEXES
SYSIBM.SYSTRIGGERS
SYSIBM.INDEXES
The following are specifications for using Toad's Object Migration wizard to migrate DB2 objects and their dependencies:
