Saving a Temporary Results Set
When you run an SQL query, DB2 Web Query Tool temporarily stores a file containing the query results on the server to which you are connected. You can choose to save each set of query results, or allow it to remain in temporary storage on the server. If you do not save a results set within a set number of days, DB2 Web Query Tool automatically deletes it.
Note: When installing DB2 Web Query Tool, your network administrator specifies the number of days that elapse before DB2 Web Query Tool automatically deletes temporary results sets. If you are unsure how long your temporary results sets remain on the server before being deleted, consult with your network administrator.
To save a temporary result set:
1. In the desired connection branch of the DB2 Web Query Tool navigation tree, expand the Data branch.
2. Expand the Temporary branch until you see the results set that you want to save.
3. Click the results set that you want to save. A drop-down menu appears.
4. On the drop down menu, click Save. The Object Properties page opens, displaying all recent and saved results sets.
Tip: Temporary results are those that are located in temporary storage on the server; Saved results are stored permanently in the DB2 Web Query Catalog.
5. Specify the properties for your results set.
6. Click Save. DB2 Web Query Tool saves the results set. The results set disappears from the Temporary list, and is added to the Saved list.
