-SSID (Subsystem ID)
The -SSID command identifies the Db2 subsystem where the worklist is processed.
The initial SSID is the Db2 system that is generating the worklist. The SSID should change only for generated migrate worklists.
The -SSID command can also specify a Db2 data sharing group attachment name for the Db2 subsystem ID.
In the worklist, you can enter an asterisk (*) in place of the SSID name. The asterisk indicates to use the SSID that is specified with the SSID keyword in the AEXIN input stream. You can manually specify the SSID as the second value of the PARM parameter of an EXEC statement in a cataloged procedure (which begins with a PROC statement) in the JCL. By doing so, you can run the JCL several times on different subsystems, without having to use a different data set for each subsystem. When you manually specify the SSID, its value overrides the value of the SSID keyword in the AEXIN input stream.
The CM/PILOT component of BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 also uses the -SSID command in a CM/PILOT worklist.
