Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on May 13, 2019

Db2 V12 - Installation CLIST - Panel DSNTIPG1 - IC DATA SET UNIT NAME - format of DSNTIJIC

For Db2 V12, going through the installation CLIST to migrate, panel DSNTIPG1 MIGRATE DB2 - INSTALLATION PREFERENCES PANEL 2

3 IC DATA SET UNIT NAME

With Db2 V12, IC DATA SET UNIT NAME determines the format of the Db2 catalog and directory image copy job DSNTIJIC, either to disk or to tape.

IBM should provide both formats, disk and tape, in the output SAMPLE LIBRARY.

I would be able to choose which format to run. If I had a abend due to space running the image copy to disk, I could use the image copy to tape.

Current workaround: To generate the other format of DSNTIJIC today, you have go through installation CLIST again, from the beginning.

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request. We have reviewed it and determined there is insufficient interest in this idea, therefore, unfortunately, we will not be implementing this request.
