Determining the default DBC group for LGC

Establishing a default DBC Group in the RTCS system registry allows products to obtain their option sets from LGC without having to specify a DBC to connect to. The product will always connect to the default DBC unless a DBC SSID parameter is used.

If you have more than one DBC started task on an LPAR, or have multiple DBCs in the same sysplex using different DBC groups and the RTCS system registry is shared, only one DBC can be registered as the default DBC. If the LGC option sets for any LGC clients are in a different LGC registry from the default DBC, then those DBCs will need to use a special ZDBCssid designation. For more information, see Replicating-the-DBC-by-using-a-different-DBC-group.

If you are not certain which DBC group is the default, use the following procedure to find the default.

To find the default DBC group

1. Edit the LGC$LIST member from the SAMP data set to contain the following input:
   

   <lgcutil>
   <list><dbc /></list>
   </lgcutil>

2. Run the job and then examine the LGCUTLPR output.
   The name of the default DBC group (DCPLEX in the following example) is marked with an asterisk.
