PI25981: DB2 ADMIN TOOL MULTI TARGET COMPARE - QUALIFIERS NOT WORKING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With a multi target compare on three targets within the same
  subsystem, each using it's own mask, the generated DDL for each
  of the three targets uses the mask from the 1st target (it gets
  used for all three targets).
  

Local fix

• 1. Create all the target profiles with different mask specified
     for each target
  2. Create a "target group" with all the target profiles listed.
  3. Specify "Group Name" (instead of "target name") on "Register
     Options" panel ADB2CRO when going through OC scenario to
     register a mulit-target change.
  
  Continue to generate the multi-target compare job. Ensure that
  job step for register (T03REG)  lists all the targets and their
  respective masks.

  ****************************************************************
  During the compare process, users can opt to use the Multi-
  target Change Management function. When multiple targets
  are associated with the change, the target mask name for the
  associated target is not retrieved, and masking is not applied
  on the target system.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem is resolved by retrieving the mask name correctly when
  targets are added on panel ADBPCMT 'Associate Targets'.
