BRGUI or BRTOOLS displays the menu BRSPACE main options for showing database information, where you specify the options with which you call BRSPACE.
Set the required options:

This shows you the BRSPACE -f dbshow -c sginfo command that is to be executed using the current settings. |
If required, in Database table or Database index you can enter the names of multiple tables or indexes 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 segments in the specified tablespace(s), or all segments belonging to the specified owner(s), table(s), or index(es).

BRGUI or BRTOOLS prompts you to start BRSPACE.
Choose Continue to start BRSPACE.
Command line:
