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.
