Change Manager requirements


BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 has the following requirements:


  • If your users generate large worklists for creating or modifying PeopleSoft environments, you might need to modify the values for space allocation for dynamically allocated data sets. To do so, increase the appropriate operating system defaults in the ALLOC xx member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
  • The Compare function of Change Manager requires the following conditions in order to perform a catalog-to-catalog comparison:
    • The catalogs that are used as input sources must be located on Db2 subsystems that are installed with Version 8.1 or later.
    • Remote locations must be defined in the SYSIBM.LOCATIONS table of the local Db2 subsystem and be connected by using the DDF of Db2. For information about defining a location name with SYSIBM.LOCATIONS, see the IBM documentation.
    • You must completely install Change Manager on the local and remote Db2 subsystems.
    • Change Manager must be at the same version, release, and maintenance level on both Db2 subsystems.
    • The same naming conventions for the collection IDs and plan names must be used on the local and remote Db2 subsystems.
  • Change Manager uses structured query language (SQL) to access the Db2 catalog.

    Best practice
    Before installing 

    Change Manager

    , we recommend that you run the IBM RUNSTATS utility against the Db2 catalog. Running RUNSTATS gives the Db2 Optimizer access to up-to-date statistics when determining access paths that could improve performance.

  • The BMCSORT component of Change Manager provides full sort support for BMC AMI Recover and UNLOAD PLUS. BMCSORT is installed with Change Manager and requires no additional license or password for use.
