      • Simulation - Indicator for the generated JCL to run the method in simulation, without populating the output files. (A first run in simulation is recommended in order to calculate spaces).
      • Real Extraction - Indicator to perform real extraction.
    • Discard Unchanged Files - Discard all DB2 tables from the allocation JCL that belong to the current method and are neither reduced nor masked.
    • Run Deletion - Indicator of whether to perform a deletion of all results of previous extractions for the same step range.
    • Run Extraction - Indicator of whether to perform the execution of the extractions for the selected step range.
    • JCL output data set - Library where the generated JCLs will be stored.
    • JCL output member - N ame of the generated JCLs.
    • Temporary data set prefix - Name of the prefix for the temporary data set used in the JCL in order to create the temporary unloads from image copy.
