Installation Considerations
When you use the Install System to install the Administrative Products, 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, command modules, database names, creator names, and collection
names. The default values for these names are listed in Table 6-1. In these
default values, v indicates the version, r indicates the release, and m indicates
the maintenance level.
Implementing Catalog Indirection
Catalog indirection is an optional method of implementing and maintaining
the Administrative Products. To implement catalog indirection, see
“Implementing Catalog Indirection” on page 3-20. For information on
collection names, see “Collection Names” on page 3-25. For information on
collection nicknames, as well as default options, refer to the following
sections.
