XBMID

The variable ssid (subsystem ID) is the unique identifier that you specified when you installed XBM or SUF. If you are using XBM or SUF in a Db2 data sharing environment, you can use the value of the XBMGROUP parameter in place of the ssid. The XBMGROUP is the name of the cross-system coupling facility (XCF) group that is defined to the XBM subsystem, and its default value is XBMGROUP.

If you specify an XBM subsystem, it must be:

• Available
• At a supported maintenance level
• Enabled for the required function

If you do not specify an XBM subsystem (either here or with the XBMID installation option), LOADPLUS automatically searches for an XBM subsystem that meets the same criteria. If you have multiple subsystems that meet these criteria, LOADPLUS can use any one of these subsystems.

For more information about using XBM or SUF with LOADPLUS, see SUF-also-known-as-XBM-considerations.

Restriction

When invoking DSNUTILB, LOADPLUS ignores this option.

Specifying the default

You can specify the default for the XBMID command option in your installation options module by using the XBMID installation option. The command option overrides the default that is in the installation options module.
