Issue/Introduction

Is there a list or best practice for seeing what objects are going to be updated in Client 0 as part of the initial data load in an upgrade? 

Environment

Release : 12.3.9, 21.0.4 HF1

Resolution

With 12.3.9 and 21.0.4 HF1, you can find the client 0 objects that will be overwritten in the uc_ini.txt file located in /db/general/[version]/ directory.  You can start the search at the line that says:

;Table OH was exported on: 

and end the search on the line:

F003CREPORTPOPUP

searching for all lines between these that start with F003C.  Anything in these lines after F003C is the object name in client 0.  For example, you will find the line:

F003CHEADER.UNIX

This is the HEADER.UNIX object and it will be fully replaced during the load of the initialdata.

A few things to note:
If you copy objects from client 0 to a non-0 client, the non-0 client object will not be updated
Do not make updates to uc_ini.txt as updates there are made for a specific reason and we cannot support any corruption that happens due to changes to this file.
No deletions are done from variable rows, only updates.  For example, UC_OBJECT_TEMPLATE is updated so that the default system objects (like JOBS.UNIX) are restored to their default.
