Problem description: | |
db2 "call SYSPROC.ADMIN_CMD('import from staff.del of del messages on server insert into staff')" The above the servercommand generates message files on in instance onwer's directory /home/db2inst1/sqllib/tmp Filename Example : IMPORT_62WD84_COGNOS The above file format is made up of IMPORT (type of operation), 62WD84 (unique file identifier), and COGNOS (user name) The issue here is, if the username is more than 8 characters, it truncates it to 8 chars, but if it is less than 8 characters, it pads trailing blanks to make it 8 characters which is a defect. The ideal scenario should be if the username is a 3 character, say for example: jay, then ideally the file generated should look like IMPORT_62WD84_JAY and not "IMPORT_62WD84_JAY " with 5 trailling blanks in the file name. | |
