|The following usage note should be added to the command description:
|During reconciliation, attempts are made to link files which exist according |to table data, but which do not exist according to Data Links Manager metadata, |if no other conflict exists. A required DB2 Data Links Manager is one which |has a referenced DATALINK value in the table. Reconcile tolerates unavailability |of a required DB2 Data Links Manager as well as those that are configured |to the database but are not part of the table data.
|If an exception table is not specified, the exception report file (filename.exp) will have the host name, file name, column ID, and reason |code for each of the DATALINK column values for which file references could |not be re-established. If the file reference could not be re-established because |the DB2 Data Links Manager itself was dropped from the database using the |DROP DATALINKS MANAGER command, the file name reported in the exception report |file is not the full file name; that is, the prefix part is missing. In the |exception table for the DATALINK values whose DB2 Data Links Manager is dropped |or is not available, the file name in the DATALINK value is not the full file |name. The prefix part is missing. For example, if the original DATALINK value |was 'http://host.com/dlfs/x/y/a.b', the value reported in the exception table |will be 'http://host.com/x/y/a.b'; that is, the prefix name 'dlfs' will not |be included. The exception report file in this case will have 'x/y/a.b'; that |is, the prefix name 'dlfs' will not be included.
|At the end of the reconciliation process, the table is taken out of datalink |reconcile pending (DRP) state only if reconcile processing is complete on |all the required DB2 Data Links Managers. If reconcile processing is pending |on any of the required DB2 Data Links Managers (because they were unavailable), |the table will remain, or be placed, in DRP state.
|The following should be added to the list of possible violations:
| 00010-DB2 Data Links Manager referenced by the DATALINK value | has been dropped from the database using the DROP DATALINKS | MANAGER command. In this case, the corresponding DATALINK value | in the exception table will not contain the prefix name. | For example, if the original DATALINK value was | 'http://host.com/dlfs/prfx/x/y/a.b', and '/dlfs/prfx' is | the prefix name, the exception table will contain | 'http://host.com/x/y/a.b'.
