-f dbshow -t|-table

Note

If required, in Database table you can enter the names of multiple tables by using wildcards. For more information, see “Selecting Objects“ in Segment Management with BR*Tools.

In Database tablespace and Database owner, you can specify multiple objects but you cannot  use wildcards. BRSPACE processes all the tables in the specified tablespace(s) or all tables belonging to the specified owner(s).

                                               iii.       Choose Continue.
