Installation options

Options set during installation establish default values that LOADPLUS uses during your load job.

The LOADPLUS for DB2 product is installed by using the BMC Installation System. During this installation, the configuration process generates a customized installation data set. This data set contains customized jobs that install LOADPLUS into your specific Db2 environment. Two of these jobs establish the default processing option values that LOADPLUS uses:

  • $730DOP2 establishes the defaults for LOADPLUS and High-speed Apply processing options.
  • $532SOPT contains options for the BMC BMCSORT technology.

These jobs assemble options macros. The macros contain the LOADPLUS processing options and the values for those options that are shipped with LOADPLUS and BMCSORT. When the Installation System-generated configuration job is submitted, it links the AMU$OPTS installation options module in the APF-authorized library that is designated by your site.

You can customize the installation of LOADPLUS by changing the values for the LOADPLUS installation options. However, if you change any of the values in $730DOP2 or $532SOPT after LOADPLUS has been installed, you must rerun the jobs for these changes to take effect.

You can also create additional options modules that allow you to use different values of these options for different executions of LOADPLUS. For example, you might use the default installation options module for most jobs but create another options module with customized values for certain options for special situations. For information about specifying an options module at runtime, see Installation options module. For more information about customizing your installation of LOADPLUS, see the Customizing BMC Products and Solutions for DB2.
