I doubt IBM would tell you because those tables are proprietary?
My former coworker completely reengineered all of the ARS.* tables because IBM refused to help us with a user report. Try playing with the tables in your lower tiered. Make sure you back up first
WOW, IBM told me before to use XML to operate tables otherwise the table will be messed up. Is your system upgraded after table change? just wonder if the change was still there after upgrade.
Nothing was messed up, as we werent messing up anything.
Honestly, in my 4 years of supporting CMOD i have maybe talked to 1-2 people from IBM that were helpful. Most of my answers were solved by making a list of possible things, and checking each one, and this group of course.
Our script basically created NEW tables, populated tables (Granted, the users/groups tables) are much smaller...exported it to a CSV file and then it was sent to another line of business for analysis, probably ingested via cognos or even something like a coldfusion/mssql setup.
They never not once mentioned to use ARSXML, so instead of wasting time waiting on PMR's and keeping track, I would "reinvent the wheel" except it would be the reinvented jeff wheel and boom..solved.
