Filters (list) –
This parameter isn’t currently supported.
- (dict) –
  
  A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as IDs. The filters supported by a describe operation are documented with the describe operation.
  
  Note
  Currently, wildcards are not supported in filters.
  
  The following actions can be filtered:
  - DescribeDBClusterBacktracks

Marker (string) – An optional pagination token provided by a previous DescribeOptionGroups request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.
MaxRecords (integer) –
The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that you can retrieve the remaining results.

Default: 100

Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.
EngineName (string) –
A filter to only include option groups associated with this database engine.

Valid Values:
- db2-ae
- db2-se
