Installation Considerations
When you use the Install System to install the Administrative Products for
DB2, the installation process generates a customized installation data set.
This data set contains customized jobs that are created to install these
products into your specific DB2 environment. One of these jobs establishes
the default processing option values. The job name begins with a $ character,
followed by a three-character identifier that varies depending on which Install
System installation path that you used. The last four characters are always
DOPT.
The $xnnDOPT member of the installation data set contains an assembly
language program with an options macro call that establishes the default
processing values. You can tailor the installation of the product, including
changing plan names, by editing the default values in the $xnnDOPT
member.
Installation Defaults
During installation, you can specify names for options modules, synonym
qualifiers, database names, creator names, and collection names. The default
values for these names are listed in Table 5-1. In these default values, v
indicates the version, r indicates the release, m indicates the maintenance
level, and c is a character value indicating the DB2 version where B indicates
version 3.1, C indicates version 4.1, D indicates version 5.1, and E indicates
version 6.1 or later.
