Issue/Introduction
How to obtain the entire RI set without having to select each table manually.
Environment
DB2 for Z/OS
Release : R20
Resolution
When a new source definition is created the user must select the first table to be included in the extract. Normally, the next step is to manually select the child tables that are required to be part of the extract
one by one.
If the entire RI set is required and there is no need to be selective , this can be done with a RC/Extract PROFILE option.

When "Select Entire R/I Set" is set to N, when the first table is selected only that table is added to the Source Definition.
When "Select Entire R/I Set" is set to Y, when the first table is selected then all the tables that are part of the RI set of the first table are automatically brought in to the Source definition for you.
If the first table is part of a large RI set then having to select each one would be a time consuming task.
If some of the tables selected are not required after all, the 'X' line command can be used to exclude them from the source definition. The "S" line command can be used to reinstate them if required.
The excluded tables can be seen using the MODESW command on the "Relationship Display Mode" where the EXCLSW setting shows "Show Excluded Objects". The EXCLSW command is a toggle between hiding and displaying the excluded tables.
