specifies whether to ignore FedSQL objects, such as FedSQL views, DS2 packages, or DS2 threads.

Details

If you enable the IGNORE_FEDSQL_OBJECTS= option, then a library query ignores FedSQL objects such as FedSQL views, DS2 packages, or DS2 threads. These objects are typically created by calling PROC FEDSQL or PROC DS2. When you specify that FedSQL objects should be ignored, you often improve the performance of library queries or requests to view data.
