Setting Compare Session Properties

To run a Compare session report, you must set the session properties. You can choose a range of rows to compare, set a limit to the number of difference rows to return, and determine how to match the columns for comparison.

To set Compare session properties:

1.         From the Compare Session page, select the session for which you want to set properties and click Properties. The Compare Session Properties page opens.

2.         Optional: Type a range of rows to compare for each object.

3.         Type a difference row limit. The default setting of "0" indicates no limit to the number of difference rows that will be returned.

4.         In the Column Match By field, choose how to match the columns. If you selected Manual, from the Column Match By drop down, specify a match for each column in the source object table from the columns in the target object in the Match column. For example, if you specify the match for the DEPTNUMB column as 560, then only rows where the DEPTNUMB=560 will be compared. By specifying a match in the Match column you are in effect, filtering the rows to be compared.

Tip:     To switch the Source and Target objects, click Swap.

5.         Click Save.

DB2 Web Query Tool saves the session properties.

Tip:     To remember these options as the default for all other sessions, click Save as Default.
