problem with snapshot compare

Toad for IBM DB2
1

I am using TOAD for DB2(z/os) and i have been getting an error when i compare a schema against offline snapshot. To experiment with this feature, i created a temp table took a snapshot and dropped the table and wanted to compare.

i have posted the error below. Has anyone else recieved a similar error?

Thanks!

I have not been able to recreate this.
When you created your temp table, was that the only object that was qualified by that schema when you took the snapshot?

It might make sense to open a support case at support.quest.com so all pertinent information can be captured and tracked…

Hi,
We did some changes\fixes recently which maybe related to your issue.
Please, verify how it will be working in the next beta.

I’m still getting this error when I tried to do a snapshot compare in TOAD for DB2 5.1.0.452 Beta version.

Hi,
You can verify this problem using just posted beta build #493

Snapshot Compare still doesn’t work in the latest beta version (5.1.0.493). This is what i did: Took a snapshot of a schema(.DB2snp file), made some changes and compared the snapshot with the most current schema. I get an error, “Porcess Terminated due to errors…”

Please, send me your snapshot.
