Refreshing Default Options
BMC Software, Inc., Confidential and Proprietary Information
Chapter 3 Performing Additional Installation Tasks 3-15
When a user accesses an Administrative Product, the BMCDB2 CLIST
establishes the ISPF application ID and allocates the DOPTs module name.
The product that receives control either initializes or refreshes the user’s
options with the information from the DOPTs module that are allocated by
the BMCDB2 CLIST.
Avoiding User Options Overlay
In some situations, when you make changes in one environment, those
changes appear in another environment. This situation usually happens when
the same ISPF application ID is being established for multiple SSIDs, and is
probably unacceptable because the user-option changes are SSID specific.
For example, if both of the DB2T and DB2P application IDs for ALTER are
established as ALUA, any user option changes that are made for DB2T are
also made for the DB2P user options.
To avoid accidentally overlaying user options, ensure that the ISPF
application that is established for each DB2 SSID is unique. The Install
System attempts to make each application ID unique in a given BMCDB2
CLIST. It does not, however, make each application ID unique across
multiple BMCDB2 CLISTs. For example, if you execute a Full installation
for DB2T and a Full installation for DB2P, you have two BMCDB2
CLISTs—one for each environment. The initial ISPF application ID for both
SSIDs is xxxA, which results in an overlay.
To correct overlay problems, follow these steps for each BMCDB2 CLIST
that you are using:
1. Edit the BMCDB2 CLIST.
2. Proceed to the *DATA line.
3. For each SSID, make sure that the APPLID is unique across all
BMCDB2 CLISTs, as shown in Figure 3-1.
