Setting up the PSS component

The PSS component enables snapshot utilities processing in a Db2 sysplex (data sharing) environment and snapshot processing in an IMS data sharing environment.

To use the PSS component, perform the steps described in this procedure.

  1. Add the XBM cache and list structures to your coupling facility resource manager (CFRM) policy.For detailed information about these CFRM structures, see the EXTENDED BUFFER MANAGER documentation.

    Important

    A single set of XBM structures in the CFRM policy is valid for multiple Db2 data sharing groups.

  2. Install and initialize an XBM subsystem on each CPU running Db2 or IMS in the sysplex.

    Important

    All XBM subsystems in a data sharing group should be the same version.

  3. Specify the appropriate values on the PSS Options panel.Instructions for accessing the PSS Options panel and setting appropriate values can be found in theEXTENDED BUFFER MANAGER documentation.
  4. Stop and restart the PSS component on each XBM subsystem to enable the options.
