Defining the connection to CATALOG MANAGER for DB2

To define the connection to CATALOG MANAGER for DB2

1. Choose one of the following options:

   • If you ran MainView configuration

     This step is done automatically. Skip to Step 2.

   • If you did not run MainView configuration

     Take the following steps:

   1. Manually allocate a hlq.SBBCLIB, and concatenate it to the BBCLIB DD allocation.
   2. Move the customized DMRACT CLIST into hlq.SBBCLIB.

   You must provide the following information from your CATALOG MANAGER installation:

   • HLQ(cathlq)– cathlq identifies the high-level qualifier of the CATALOG MANAGER data sets.
   • MVHLQ– the high-level qualifier of the MainView for DB2 data sets.
   • DOPTS(ACTDOPD1)–ACTDOPD1 is the default options module.

   Note

   No password is required in the CATALOG MANAGER LOAD library for browse access from MainView for DB2.

   You can only access DB2s that are in a different LPAR from a User Address Space (UAS) if you have defined DDF connections between your DB2s, and have enabled DDF usage in CATALOG MANAGER.

   Note

   If you have a full license for CATALOG MANAGER for DB2, you must add the CATALOG MANAGER password library to the ISPLLIB LIBDEF definition in the DMRACT clist, or copy the password module directly into the HLQ.ACTLINK.

2. To activate the connection to CATALOG MANAGER, edit member DMRACTR in UBBPARM (original source in member DMRACTR in BBPARM). Specify the CATALOG MANAGER version number in the first four characters of the line. (For example, version number 12.1 is specified as 1210.)
