DB2 Manager Parameter Specification

3

DB2 Manager uses its own parameter library to allow users to control the operation of the product. This parameter library is a partitioned dataset containing the following members:

ENVCNTL - used to specify general parameters relating to the DB2 Manager operating environment.

TAPECNTL - used to specify controls relating to object retrieval processing by the DB2 Manager control region.

A sample parameter library containing all of the above members is distributed with the product on file 4 of the distribution tape. This file will provide a sample specification of each of the parameters used by DB2 Manager. The sample parameter library may be used for DB2 Manager operation at your installation after updating the library members as required.

Use ISPF EDIT, or any equivalent editing facility present on your system, to create and/or maintain these parameter library members.

DB2 Manager parameters will be validated during control region initialization processing. Any invalid parameter used will be reported via a display in the system and job logs, and initialization of the control region will terminate. In this case, the parameter in error should be corrected on the parameter library, and the DB2 Manager control region restarted.

General parameter format

Each parameter library member will consist of a variable number of 80-byte records, each record containing one or more separate parameter entries. In general, each parameter entry must be completely contained within one record (ie) continuation of any single parameter entry from one record to another is not permitted. A single record may contain multiple parameter entries.

A parameter entry has the general format:

keyword = value

	Each keyword and its associated value are separated by an '=' sign, and
	optionally one or more spaces. Multiple keyword parameter entries may be
	specified in each parameter record, each 'keyword=value' string being
	separated by one or more spaces, and optionally a single comma (',').
	The first keyword parameter in a record may begin in any character position
	from 1 onwards. Parameters may extend up to character position 80 of the
