Installation option descriptions


This section describes the installation options and, in some cases, indicates the default value of the option.

Note

,R in the variable syntax indicates that the value specified will refresh the existing value of the variable in the user’s ISPF profile data set, if the time stamp of the installation options module is later than the time stamp in the user’s ISPF profile member.

Descriptions of the $ACTDOPT options

Term

Definition

ALLC=N

This option determines whether to display all panel titles, column heads, field prompts, and messages in uppercase characters (Y or N).

AOPTS=ACMDOPD1

This option is no longer used to specify the ALTER or CATALOG MANAGERnstallation options module name to be used to run a CATALOG MANAGER worklist. Instead, CATALOG MANAGER uses the ACT vrDM plan to execute a worklist through the Execution component. The plan name is generated in the Execution JCL.

BDSN='''&&HLQ..BMCDBRM'''

This option indicates the DBRM library that CATALOG MANAGER uses when executing the BIND command.

BOPTS=ASUDOPD1

Note

These parameters must match the load library and options module name that is used when installing DASD MANAGER PLUS

This option is no longer used to run a CATALOG MANAGER worklist. Instead, CATALOG MANAGER uses the ACT vrDM plan to execute a worklist through the Execution component. The plan name is generated in the Execution JCL.

ICSYC

This option indicates the CATALOG MANAGER synonym creator ID that is used when installing catalog indirection for CATALOG MANAGER.

JDSN=&&ZUSER..BMCCAT.JCL()

This option specifies the default data set name that is used for utility JCL. The data set can be either a sequential or a partitioned data set. The product uses the utility name as the default member name automatically.

KPLAN=ACTvrDK

This option specifies the name of the DB2 commands plan.

LDSN=&&ZUSER..BMCCAT.SQL

This option specifies the name of the SQL output data set. CATALOG MANAGER dynamically allocates the data set the first time that it is used. If you want to preallocate this data set, use the following parameters:

 DCB=(LRECL=4092,BLKSIZE=4096,RECFM=VB)

Note

In many installations, allocation of data sets is controlled by user-written or third-party routines. If allocation fails, you should use alternate means, such as ISPF, to perform the allocations.

LPLAN=ACTvrDL

This option specifies the name of the CATALOG MANAGER logs maintenance plan.

MAX=300

This option indicates the maximum number of lines to generate in a list.

MPLAN=ACTvrDM

This option specifies the name of the CATALOG MANAGER main plan.

PDSN=&&ZUSER..BMCCAT.PRINT

This option specifies the name of the print output data set. CATALOG MANAGER dynamically allocates this data set the first time that it is used. If you want to preallocate this data set, use the following parameters:

 DCB=(LRECL=4092,BLKSIZE=27998,RECFM=VBA)

Note

In many installations, allocation of data sets is controlled by user-written or third-party routines. If allocation fails, you should use alternate means, such as ISPF, to perform the allocations.

PLP=55

This option indicates the number of print lines per page for the PRINT commands.

POFDS='&&HLQ..UBMCCNTL(&POFNAME)'

This option specifies the name of the JCL Generation Product Options File (POF).

SPLAN=ACTvrDSdt

This option specifies the authorization plan for the SEARCH command. This plan is not used currently, but will be enabled in a future release.

TDSNdt

This option specifies the data set in which site utility profiles are saved. The data set can be either sequential or partitioned. If the data set is partitioned, ensure that you include the member name in the data set.

Note

Because the TDSN keyword is used for a site profile, the ,R (refresh) command will be ignored.

TNCC= bigger smaller symbols

This parameter specifies the characters that replace the beginning and end of a truncated string in an object name that is too long to be displayed.

TNLMR=M

This parameter specifies the location of characters to be omitted in object names that are too long to be displayed:

L

Replace characters at the left end (beginning) of the name.

M

Replace characters in the middle of the name.

R

Replace characters at the right end (end) of the name.

TRS=N

UCOMD

(optional) This option indicates the name of the user commands table. This user commands table contains your modifications to existing commands and any new commands, and overrides the primary commands table in member ACTCOMND in the HLQ.BMCCNTL library. When you invoke CATALOG MANAGER, the product merges the primary commands table with your user commands table.

UODSN='''&&ZUSER..BMCACT.USEROPT'''

This option specifies the name of the data set that contains values for user options in XML format. CATALOG MANAGER dynamically allocates the data set the first time that it is used. If you want to preallocate this data set, use the following parameters:

 DCB=(LRECL=255,BLKSIZE=6124,RECFM=VB)

Note

In many installations, allocation of data sets is controlled by user-written or third-party routines. If allocation fails, you should use alternate means, such as ISPF, to perform the allocations.

UPLAN=ACTvrDU

This option specifies the name of the utilities plan.

WDSN=&&ZUSER..BMCCAT.WORK

This option specifies the name of the work data set in which statements that the HDDL command produces are stored. CATALOG MANAGER dynamically allocates the data set the first time that it is used.

If you want to preallocate this data set, use the following parameters:

 DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3440)

Note

In many installations, allocation of data sets is controlled by user-written or third-party routines. If allocation fails, you should use alternate means, such as ISPF, to perform the allocations.

XODSN=('&&HQL..BMCXML')

This option specifies the name of the data set that defines the set of options for DESCRIBE package and DESCRIBE plan in XML format. The data set must be partitioned. ACTDESC is the default member name.

Descriptions of the $ACTSQLD options

The $ACTSQLD options that are listed in Installation-option-example indicate that lists the $ACTSQLD options and the corresponding table that CATALOG MANAGER accesses. For DB2 Version 12.1 and later, CATALOG MANAGER disregards the value of the $ACTSQLD options and supports only DYNAMIC SQL. For earlier versions of DB2, CATALOG MANAGER uses the value of the option that you specified.
