There may be times when you need to examine records on a repository. This may be necessary for diagnostic purposes, for example.
You can use the repository utility program, DFHBARUP, to print selected records from a specified repository data set.
By default, DFHBARUP prints all the records currently on the specified repository. Thus, you could use it to take a "snapshot" of your BTS system9 at the time the utility is run. Bear in mind that the state of a repository may change from moment to moment--especially if it is shared across a busy sysplex. For example, records for new processes and activities may be added constantly; conversely, as processes complete and events are deleted their associated records will disappear from the repository.
DFHBARUP allows you to filter selected records--you could, for example, print only the records associated with a specific process. Doing so would give you the current state of:
Alternatively, you could print only the records associated with a specific activity. Doing so would give you the current state of:
DFHBARUP formats the records it extracts, to make them easier to interpret.
