Chapter 5 Installing ALTER 5-13
ASUDOPT=ASUDOPD1
The name of the DASD MANAGER PLUS product’s DOPTs module that the
GUI for ALTER will use to interact with DASD MANAGER PLUS. This
parameter is used only if DASD MANAGER PLUS is installed.
ATTN=Y Allows you to press the ATTENTION key to interrupt processing when
ATTN=Y. This option allows you to stop processing, for example, when
building a Mixed List in ALTER or CHANGE MANAGER (
Y or N).
AUTHSW=N Controls the method of authorization-ID switching that Analysis uses.
If you specify
AUTHSW=Y, -AUTH commands are used in the worklist to
switch the authorization ID for subsequent SQL statements and reBINDs. In
this mode, you can add
-SETS commands to the worklist for setting the
authorization ID with SET CURRENT SQLID statements.
If you specify
AUTHSW=N, -SETS commands are generated for switching the
authorization ID, and
-AUTH commands are not allowed.
If you specify
AUTHSW=B, both -AUTH and -SETS commands are used.
-AUTH commands are generated to set the original CREATEDBY values.
-SETS commands are generated to set new OWNER values for all objects.
The
B option also causes authorization-ID switching before CREATE
TABLE and CREATE INDEX statements, which is not done under either of
the other options. When the
AUTHSW keyword is used in the ALUIN input
stream, it is equivalent to
AUTHSW=Y in the DOPTs module.
Note: Do not use the AUTHSW keyword in the following situations:
•If
AUTHSW=N is in the DOPTs module.
• If you are using a global authorization ID (GLID).
Note: If your site does not use DB2 secondary AUTHIDs, set AUTHSW=Y.
Otherwise, set
AUTHSW=N. If you require that the CREATEDBY
field in the DB2 catalog remain unchanged after updates, then set
AUTHSW=B.
Warning! Setting AUTHSW=B is not recommended because of a potential
security exposure. This exposure exists because the DB2 catalog
does not accurately reflect the primary authorization ID of the
creator of the objects. If you must set
AUTHSW=B, use the
sample security exit (ALUEUSX1) to avoid the security
exposure.
BLDBS=N Determines whether the BMC Software LOADPLUS utility updates catalog
statistics for the BMCSTATS utility tables during loads for DB2 Version 4.1
or earlier (
Y or N).
