The #OBJATR audit calls the Compare Object Attributes (CMPOBJA) command and places the results in an output file. Table 146 lists the attributes that can be compared by the CMPOBJA command and the value shown in the Compared Attribute (CMPATR) field in the output file. The command supports attributes that are common among most library-based objects as well as extended attributes which are unique to specific object types, such as subsystem descriptions, user profiles, and data areas. The Returned Values column lists the values you can expect in the System1 Value (SYS1VAL) and System 2 Value (SYS2VAL) columns as a result of running the compare.

1This attribute only applies to logical files. Use the Compare File Attributes (CMPFILA) command to compare or omit physical file attributes.

2Differences detected for this attribute are marked as *EC (equal configuration) when the compare request specified a data group and the object is configured for system journal replication with a configured object auditing value of *NONE.

3If *PRINT is specified for the output format on the compare request, an indicator appears in the System 1 and System 2 columns. If *OUTFILE is specified, these values are blank.

4A more thorough check of this attribute is performed for *QRYDFN object types when the IBM i release is the same on both systems.

5This attribute is only supported for *LIB object type when the library object is replicated as part of a journal-centric con­figuration.

6These attributes are compared for object types of *FILE, *DTAQ, *DTAARA, and *LIB. These are the only objects sup­ported by IBM's user journals. Objects of type *LIB are only evaluated when the data group specifies object type *LIB for the journal-centric configuration (JRNCENTRIC parameter).

7The *LASTUSED attribute is s supported on instances running MIMIX™ Software version 9.0.06.00 or higher. For details about what date can be set on the target node and the possible difference indicator values that can be returned, see Replicating user profiles and associated message queues.

8Differences detected for this attribute are marked *EC (equal configuration) when the source is set to *IMMED and the target is set to *DLY by Access Path Maintenance.

9On systems running IBM i 7.3 or higher, the MAXSTGLRG field supports a larger value than the MAXSTG field. When comparing attributes between a system that supports only MAXSTG and a system that supports both MAXSTG and MAXSTGLRG, the numeric values are compared directly unless the MAXSTGLRG value is greater than the maximum supported value for MAXSTG on the system running an earlier release. When the MAXSTGLRG value is greater, the MAXSTG value on the other system must be *NOMAX for the attribute to be marked as equal (*EC).

10The *OBJCTLLVL attribute is only supported on the following object types: *AUTL, *CNNL, *COSD, *CTLD, *DEVD, *DTAARA, *DTAQ, *FILE, *IPXD, *LIB, *LIND, *MODD, *NTBD, *NWID, *NWSD, and *USRPRF.

11Workstation entries (*WSENAMIND, *WSETYPIND) can be compared on instances running service pack 8.1.08.00 or higher.

12Storage pools indicator (*STGPOOL) can be compared on instances running service pack 8.1.09.00 or higher. A com­mand request that specifies attribute *ASPNBR shows the results for *STGPOOL instead.

13The profile status is only compared if no data group is specified or the USRPRFSTS has a value of *SRC for the spec­ified data group. If a data group is specified on the CMPOBJA command and the USRPRFSTS value on the object entry has a value of *TGT, *ENABLED, or *DISABLED, the user profile status is not compared.
