The Compare File Attributes (CMPFILA), Compare Object Attributes (CMPOBJA), Compare IFS Attributes (CMPIFSA), and Compare DLO Attributes (CMPDLOA) commands support comparing the auxiliary storage pool (*ASP) attribute for objects replicated from the user journal. These commands function similarly.
When a compare is requested, MIMIX determines the result displayed in the Differences Indicator field by considering whether a data group was specified on the compare request.
Compares that do not specify a data group - When no data group is specified on the compare request, MIMIX compares the *ASP attribute for all files or objects that match the selection criteria specified in the request. The result displayed in the Differences Indicator field. Table 155 shows the possible results in the Difference Indicator field.

1The returned values for *ASP attribute on the Source and Target systems are shown in the SYS1VAL and SYS2VAL fields. Which system is source and which is target is determined by the value of the DTASRC field. |
Compares that specify a data group - When a data group is specified on the compare request (CMPFILA, CMPDLOA, CMPIFSA commands), MIMIX does not compare the *ASP attribute. When a data group is specified on a CMPOBJA request which specifies an object type except libraries (*LIB), MIMIX does not compare the *ASP attribute.

For CMPOBJA requests which specify a a data group and an object type of *LIB, MIMIX considers configuration settings for the library. Values for the System 1 library ASP number (LIB1ASP), System 1 library ASP device (LIB1ASPD), System 2 library ASP number (LIB2ASP), and System 2 library ASP device (LIB2ASPD) are retrieved from the data group object entry and used in the comparison. Table 157, Table 158, and Table 159 show the possible results in the Difference Indicator field.
Table 157 shows the expected values for the ASP attribute when the request specifies a data group and the configuration specifies *SRCLIB for the System 1 library ASP number and the data source is system 2.
