Set the DB2 Variables

Follow these steps:

  1. From the Installation Variables Management Menu, select option 5, Set DB2 Variables, to display the Set DB2 Variables screen.

    Set DB2 Variables COMMAND ===> Enter or verify the DB2 installation variables and select a dataset type. DB2 Subsystem ID . . . . . . DSN_ Explicit creator ID . . . . ________ (Optional) Secondary Authorization ID . ________ (Optional) DB2 Collection ID . . . . . DBCOLLID Gen Runtime Collection ID. . RTCOLLID DB name . . . . . . . . . . MVSIT___ Dataset storage type . . . . S (S=Storage Group, V=Vsam) Initial data base size . . . S (S=Small, M=Medium) Secondary storage factor . . 0__ ( .01 to 9.9 X primary, 0=No secondary) F1=Help F2=Accept F3=Exit F6=Save F12=Cancel

  2. Type the DB2 subsystem identifier where the IT tables are placed.
  3. (Optional) Type an explicit DB2 authorization identifier to qualify all DB2 objects created in the installation of the IT. If blank, the default ID is the installer’s TSOID. To use secondary DB2 authorization, enter the secondary authorization ID in the space provided. Choose either a secondary or an explicit ID; you cannot choose both.
  4. Enter a collection ID value in the DB2 Collection ID field.
  5. Enter a runtime collection ID value in the Gen Runtime Collection ID field.
  6. Type a unique name for the database.
  7. Type the data set storage type. Valid values are:
  8. Type the initial database size. Valid values are:
  9. Type a secondary storage factor. Valid ranges are .01 to 9.9. A value of 0 results in no secondary allocation. The secondary storage value is determined by multiplying the primary space value by the factor. If the data set storage type is S, the maximum and minimum space values are checked to ensure compliance with DB2 rules.
  10. Press F2 to verify and store the variables entered into a working copy of the variables table.
  11. Press F6 to save the data you entered.
  12. Use the Save Variables option on the Installation Variables Management Menu to write the values to the TILITSAV member in the JCL library.
  13. Press F3 to exit.
