Additional DB2 configuration actions

Certain CICS® VT operations depend on characteristics of DB2® at your site.

  1. The CICS VT automated mapping facility uses the DB2 sample program DSNTEP2 to execute the generated DDL.
  2. The generated JCL to create the CICS VT driver modules includes DB2 bind statements.

Tailoring that is specifically related to aspects of your DB2 subsystem is required.

Start of change

Define the sample DB2 program DSNTEP2

The automated mapping feature generates DDL, and then executes it using the DB2 sample program DSNTEP2. CICS VT assumes that the name of the DB2 plan for this program is DSNTEP2. If this is not the plan name you use, manually update the member VIDDDLTS in my.SVIDCNFG.custom library. Also verify that the correct data set is specified in the LIB statement, and update if required.

End of change

Customizing skeleton bind parameters

CICS VT uses a skeleton member to generate the bind parameters for DB2 packages and plans. The default member is called VIDBIND and is in my.SVIDSAMP.custom. Comments explaining the tailoring options are included in this member.

See DB2 considerations for further discussion concerning the VIDBIND member.

If you are going to generate read-only DDMs, you will have to create an additional skeleton member in my.SVIDSAMP.custom. Specify this new member name in the second mapping defaults panel.
