Refreshing Default Options
Unlike the other DOPTs parameters, the plan names are used directly by the
product. If you must specify different plan-name values for each subsystem,
you need multiple DOPTs modules.
For additional information about setting the products’ options, see the
chapters that address specific products.
Setting User Options Using DOPTs
The purpose of the DOPTs module is to establish installation-wide default
values. You can change many of these values on an individual basis using
each product’s user options. Unlike DOPTs, user options are saved and
maintained in a user’s ISPF profile data set under the name xxxxPROF, where
xxxx is the ISPF application ID under which the product is running.
The BMCDB2 CLIST allocates the ISPF application ID based on DB2
subsystem access. During a Full installation or an SSID installation, the
Install System attempts to make each ISPF application ID unique across DB2
subsystems.
By default, the first time that the Install System generates the BMCDB2
CLIST, the application ID prdA is allocated, where prd is one of the
following codes:
• ALU (for ALTER)
• ACM (for CHANGE MANAGER)
• ASU (for DASD MANGER PLUS)
• ACT (for CATALOG MANAGER)
Note: During the installation, if you interface to an existing version of SQL
Explorer, an application ID of PSS will be added to the CLIST.
For the second and subsequent installations using SSID Install, the Install
System attempts to scan the existing BMCDB2 CLIST and to allocate a
unique application ID. For example, if ALTER is initially installed on DB2T,
the application ID is ALUA. If ALTER is installed on DB2P, the Install
System scans the BMCDB2 CLIST and uses application ID ALUB because
ALUA is already in use.
Refer to “Single and Multiple Installation Default Modules” on page 3-16 for
more information about how to customize the BMCDB2 CLIST.
