How CL commands work with distributed files

 

Because a distributed file has a system object type of *FILE, many of the CL commands that access physical files can be run against distributed files. However, the behavior of some CL commands changes when they are issued against a distributed file versus a nondistributed file.

• CL commands: Allowable to run against a distributed file with DB2 Multisystem
  Some CL commands or specific parameters cannot be run against distributed files.

• CL commands: Affecting only local pieces of a distributed file with DB2 Multisystem
  Some CL commands, when run, affect only the piece of the distributed file that is located on the local system (the system from which the command is run).

• CL commands: Affecting all the pieces of a distributed file with DB2 Multisystem
  Some CL commands, when run, affect all the pieces of the distributed file.
