This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit IBMI-I-1165 API for Access Path Rebuild Progress.

Create SQL View or Table Function for EdtRbdAP Merged

When we refresh Test Environments via RSTOBJ we want to know EdtRbdAP's estimated completion time so we can: 1) Wait for it to complete, and 2) Send status updates.


"Rebuilds estimated to complete in ~25 minutes at 8:30pm ET..."
"Rebuilds estimated to complete in ~20 minutes at 8:30pm ET..."
"Rebuilds estimated to complete in ~15 minutes at 8:30pm ET..."
(or "Rebuilds are waiting on object locks...")
etc.
"Rebuilds complete..."

Note: IBM advised QRECOVERY/QADBERAP contains the supporting data but we would like IBM to support this so results are correct and reliable.

    We believe this Idea is very similar to the following one, so we are marking it as a Duplicate. Future updates for this topic will be recorded in the other Idea.
