Naming Conventions
Table 3-12 indicates what the variables represent, and Table 3-13 shows
examples of collection names.
Note: The access type for DASD MANAGER PLUS must be direct (D).
With CATALOG MANAGER 3.4 and later, you can have more than
one indirect catalog. Each indirect catalog requires a unique
collection name.
Collection Nicknames
You can assign a meaningful nickname to the collection name. This nickname
provides CATALOG MANAGER users with easy-to-remember names of
collections.
Table 3-14 shows an example of collection names that are on the test system
DB2T that access indirect copies of production systems DB2P1 and DB2P2,
and the corresponding nicknames that could be used.
The nickname can be up to 13 characters long and cannot contain any blanks.
