Appendix A. Test Cases for DB2 Table Space Data Sets

This appendix shows the different test cases generated during the writing of this publication, related to the allocation of table spaces (and indexes). The following tests are documented:

TEST CASE 1 Appendix A.2, “Partitioned Table Space, DB2 Defined, Without SMS” on page 162

TEST CASE 2 Appendix A.3, “Partitioned Table Space, User Defined, Without SMS” on page 164

TEST CASE 3 Appendix A.4, “DB2 Table Spaces Using SMS, Existing Names” on page 165

TEST CASE 4 Appendix A.5, “DB2 Table Spaces Using SMS, Coded Names” on page 174

TEST CASE 5 Appendix A.6, “Partitioned Table Space Using SMS

Distribution” on page 178

TEST CASE 6 Appendix A.7, “Partitioned Table Spaces Using SMS, User

Distribution” on page 181

All tests were performed under laboratory conditions, and are presented as examples of the options and methodology used to achieve the end results.

A.1 Test Environment

Figure 80 on page 161 shows the environment used for the tests. Three RVA units are available; each has four control units (CU0 - CU3). One volume on each of the control units is available for the tests.
