INPUT MEMBER NAME field

Installing DB2

If you are installing DB2 for the first time and not using SAP, use the supplied defaults input member, DSNTIDXA. If you are using SAP, you should specify DSNTIDXB, the SAP-specific input member. If you process the panels several times within a single run of the CLIST, all the previous values that are entered, except edited output data sets, remain the same.

To install DB2 using default parameter values from a previous installation, you must supply the member that contains the output from the previous run of the CLIST. That member was specified in the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME field during the previous run of the CLIST.

Migrating to conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9)

If you are migrating to conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9), you must specify two member names for input values: one in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field, and one in the DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field. The INPUT MEMBER NAME field must specify a member that contains the default parameter values for the new release (usually DSNTIDXA, or DSNTIDXB if you use SAP). This member is applied first to establish the CLIST parameters.

The member that is specified in the DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field must be different from the one that is specified in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field. The DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field must specify a member that contains the values from your previous Version 8 or DB2 9 release. You can create this member by running job DSNTIJXZ on your previous release. This member is applied last and it overrides the CLIST values that are established by the member that is specified in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field.

Migrating a data sharing group to conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9)

If you are migrating a data sharing group, follow the instructions under Migrating to conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9) for the first member that you migrate. You also need to specify a name in the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME field. For each subsequent member, follow the instructions under Migrating to conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9), with the following exception: Enter the name that you specified in the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME field when you ran the CLIST to migrate the first member.

Migrating to new-function mode

If you are migrating to new-function mode, enter a member name for input values. The INPUT MEMBER NAME that you specify for migration to new-function mode should be the same as the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME that you specified during migration to conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9). In a data sharing environment, the INPUT MEMBER NAME should be the same as the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME that was specified during migration of the first member of the data sharing group to DB2 10 conversion mode (from Version 8 or Version 9).

Updating an existing DB2 subsystem

Before running the CLIST in UPDATE mode, use job DSNTIJXZ to refresh the output member from the previous run of the CLIST. Specify the refreshed member in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field.
