Creating and managing exclude specifications

You can exclude certain objects from input and output compare processes by creating exclude specifications. An exclude specification is a defined list of objects to exclude from a comparison.

To create and manage exclude specifications:

1. On the DB2 Administration Menu (ADB2) panel, specify option CM, and press Enter.
2. On the Change Management (CM) (ADB2C) panel, specify option 7 (Manage exclude specifications), and press Enter.
3. On the Manage Exclude Specifications (ADBPC7) panel, select option 1 to view or edit an existing specification or option 2 to create a new specification. If you specify option 1, you can optionally specify any selection criteria at the bottom of the panel:
