Db2 Archive Tables Are Not Available for Selection in Recovery Expert

When using the GUI to display a list of tables under a schema used for Db2 Archive Transparency tables, none of the archive tables are shown. (In my case, only the LOB tables that are associated with the archive tables were displayed.)

It seems confusing to not display the archive tables themselves. Archive tables should always be shown by default, but a preferences option could be implemented that would turn the display of archive tables off, if the user so desires.

Beyond that, I'm not sure of any Db2 restrictions, if any, regarding the recovery of archive tables with or without the related archive-enabled tables. It would really be up to the user to determine whether a recovery of archive tables is warranted or not.
