6-4 Administrative Products for DB2 Installation Guide
Installation Considerations
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 6-2 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.
Default Options Processing
Unlike the other Administrative Products for DB2, CATALOG MANAGER
is designed to use a single default options (DOPTs) module for both direct
and indirect access.
To implement a single DOPTs module, the installation dialog must process
the CATALOG MANAGER DOPTs module differently than the DOPTs
module of the other Administrative Products.
The differences are described as follows:
• During catalog indirection installation, the installation dialog prompts
you for the creator of the CATALOG MANAGER indirect synonyms, for
the indirect collection ID, and for the name of the direct options module.
All other DOPTs module information has been previously gathered.
