Defining product or component parameters

Product parameters are parameters that are specific to a product. Component parameters are parameters that are specific to a component in an IBM Tools solution pack.

1. Specify E next to the Product parameters field or the Component parameters field on the Customizer Workplace panel, and press Enter. The Product Parameters panel or the Component Parameters panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure. If other steps must be completed in a specific sequence before you define the product or component parameters, a note labeled Important will display the correct sequence on this panel.

     Complete the following tasks to customize the products. The required tasks, 
     required steps within a required or selected task, and required parameters
     are preceded by an asterisk (*). Ensure that values are specified for the       
     required parameters. Press End to save and exit.

     Usage Notes:
      -If you edited the parameters on this panel before you edited the DB2
        parameters, some of the parameters on this panel might have moved from
        their original sections to the Required Parameters section. To avoid this
        situation, create and edit the DB2 entries before you edit the parameters
        on this panel. After you select or change tasks and steps on this panel,
        review the DB2 parameters, if necessary.

   You can use the following primary commands on this panel:

   

   SAVE

   Saves the specified product or component parameter values.

   VERIFY / VERIFYOFF

   Use the VERIFY and VERIFYOFF commands to turn on and off parameter verification of product or component parameters. Before you can generate customization jobs, you must verify that all required parameters are set to a valid value. The product or component parameter status of Verify Values on the Customize Workplace panel indicates that the values have not been verified.

   Enter these commands either by typing them in the command field and pressing Enter or by positioning the cursor on the command and pressing Enter. When VERIFY is active, VERIFYOFF is displayed so that you can toggle between the two states. By default, verification is turned on when you display the DB2 Parameters panel, and the verification state is reset to VERIFY every time you exit the Customization Workplace panel by pressing PF3.

   Turning verification off is useful when you need to exit the panel before you have entered all of the required parameters, but you want to save the parameters that you have specified. When you disable verification, it is disabled only for the Product or Component Parameters Values panel.

   
2. Select any required tasks and steps, and specify values for any parameters. After you select a task or step with a slash (/), put the cursor in the selected field and press Enter. If tasks, steps, and parameters are required, they are preselected with a slash (/). Otherwise, they are not preselected.

   All of the required parameters have default values, which you can either accept or change.

   Tips:

   • In the command line, specify the KEYS command, and map EXPAND to one of the function keys.
   • For a detailed description of all input fields, put the cursor in the field, and press F1 or the key that is mapped to Help.
   • The following elements apply to specific fields:
     • Add is displayed when parameters can have multiple values but currently have only one value. To specify multiple values in these fields, place the cursor on Add, and press Enter. Use the displayed panel to add or delete additional values.
     • List is displayed when the complete list of valid values for the fields is too long to be displayed on the panel. To see the complete list of values, place the cursor on List, and press F1 or the key that is mapped to Help.
     • More is displayed when input fields contains multiple values. To see all of the values in the field, place the cursor on More, and press Enter.
3. Optional: Select other tasks and steps with a slash (/) and press Enter to activate the input fields. Either accept or change the default values that are displayed.
4. Press End to save your changes and exit, or issue the SAVE command to save your changes and stay on the Product Parameters panel or the Component Parameters panel.

What to do next

If the status of other parameters on the Customizer Workplace panel is Incomplete, Verify Values, or Discovered, edit these parameters.
