Running an application on Db2 for z/OS®

You can run your application after you have processed the SQL statements, compiled and link-edited the application, and bound the application.

About this task

At run time, Db2 verifies that the information in the application plan and its associated packages is consistent with the corresponding information in the Db2 catalog. If any destructive changes, such as DROP or REVOKE, occur (either to the data structures that your application accesses or to the binder's authority to access those data structures), Db2 automatically rebinds packages or the plan as needed.

Establishing a test environment: This topic describes how to design a test data structure and how to fill tables with test data.

CICS®Before you run an application, ensure that the following two conditions are met:
  • The corresponding entries in the SNT and RACF® control areas authorize your application to run.
  • The program and its transaction code are defined in the CICS CSD.
The system administrator is responsible for these functions.
