Planning information
Customer responsibilities: Review the sections in this announcement that describe the hardware and software dependencies for DB2 V9.1 for z/OS. Note that DB2 9 supports migration only from V8. Customers not yet running V8 should plan to upgrade to DB2 V8 for z/OS as preparation for an upgrade to DB2 9.
Migration considerations
IBM added many data server capabilities in DB2 V9.1 for z/OS and reduced or removed support for some functions. As you prepare to upgrade your subsystems to DB2 9, you should be aware of the following changes:
- AIV Extender removed.
- Text Extender removed.
- Net Search Extender removed. Note: DB2 9 incorporates substantial text function into the base product. Use the new functions and indexing for text applications.
- Net.Data® removed. WebSphere is the strategic IBM solution for delivering DB2 data to Web applications.
- DB2 QMF Visionary Studio program removed from DB2 QMF Enterprise Edition.
- DB2 Estimator, available via Web download for DB2 V8, will not be provided for DB2 V9 for z/OS.
- Visual Explain for DB2 for z/OS, available via Web download for DB2 V8, will not be provided for DB2 9. Instead, IBM Optimization Service Center for DB2 for z/OS, part of the no-charge IBM DB2 Accessories Suite for z/OS (5655-R14), extends Visual Explain's capability and adds more SQL tuning functions.
- DB2-managed stored procedure support removed. Workload Manager (WLM) managed stored procedure address spaces is the strategic solution for stored procedure support, and migration to WLM-managed stored procedure spaces is required for use of stored procedures in DB2 V9.1 for z/OS.
- Simple table space creation support removed. DB2 V9.1 for z/OS no longer implicitly creates simple table spaces nor allows you to create simple table spaces. However, DB2 V9.1 for z/OS continues to support simple table spaces created in previous versions.
- Online help facility replaced. The previous help support has been replaced by the Information Management Software for z/OS Solutions Information Center (Information Center). The Web-based Information Center is updated periodically during the life of each DB2 version, thus ensuring reader access to the most up-to-date information.
- JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS support removed. All Java application programs, and Java routines that are currently written to work with JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS, need to be modified to work with IBM DB2 Driver for JDBC and SQLJ (formerly known as the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver). The steps for migrating JDBC and SQLJ applications from the legacy JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS to IBM DB2 Driver for JDBC and SQLJ can be found in the Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java. In addition, all WLM-managed stored procedures address spaces that are set up to execute Java routines must be modified to reference IBM DB2 Driver for JDBC and SQLJ.
- DB2 Precompiler Flagger support was removed in DB2 for z/OS V8, and SQLFLAG is no longer a valid precompiler option.
- Plans and packages should be rebound on current releases to benefit from optimizer enhancements and DB2 9 virtual storage constraint improvements on SQL statement storage. For DB2 9, plans and packages from DB2 V4, or earlier will be automatically rebound when accessed by DB2 9.
- As noted in the Hardware requirements section, DB2 9 for z/OS requires long displacement support in the hardware. Due to greater use of long displacement instructions by DB2 9 than DB2 V8, column-intensive applications may experience shorter CPU time. However, these applications may take longer on systems that emulate long displacement (for example, z800 or z900). For further information on the long displacement facility, refer to z/Architecture Principles of Operations, SA22-7832-04 available at
-
To allow you, in a potential future release of DB2, to specify a module
name other than DSNHDECP to be used by a DB2 instance, in a manner
similar to that used for other DB2 parameters, DB2 9 lays the ground work
with these changes:
- RRS attach provides information on which DB2 subsystems are available on an LPAR and provides the address of the DSNHDECP load module (DSNHDECP is loaded in common storage (ECSA)) being used by a DB2 subsystem.
- IFCID 160 has been enhanced to provide the fully qualified DSNHDECP load module dataset name used by a DB2 subsystem.
- The precompiler provides the fully qualified dataset name for the DSNHDECP load module used in a precompilation.
- GETVARIABLE has been enhanced to provide all of the information that the DECP provides.
- The fully qualified dataset name for the DB2 subsystem parameter module, DSNHDECP load module, and exits DSN3@ATH, DSN3@SGN, and DSNX@XAC, are displayed as a message on START DB2.
For more detailed information on upgrading to DB2 9, refer to the DB2 V9.1 for z/OS Installation Guide (GC18-9846).
As part of ongoing efforts to deliver the most current technology and to remove those features that no longer provide our customers with strategic benefits, the following features are deprecated in DB2 9. These functions may be dropped in the future; you should not create any new dependencies that rely on them, and if you have existing dependencies on them, you should develop plans to remove those dependencies.
- XML Extender.
- DB2 MQ XML user-defined functions and stored procedures.
- msys for Setup DB2 Customization Center.
- DB2 Management Clients feature, which includes DB2 Administration Server, DB2 Control Center, and DB2 Development Center.
- DDF Private Protocol.
- BookManager format for DB2 for z/OS publications. Books new to the library with DB2 V9 will not be offered in BookManager format, and the BookManager format may be dropped for all publications in the future.
Direct customer support
Eligible customers can obtain installation and usage assistance from the Industry Support Center through a telephone response line.
Packaging: The DB2 UDB for z/OS features are available on 3480 cartridges.
Also included with each base or optional feature is a Program Directory, and under separate cover, one copy of the entitled publications, and other media, such as CD-ROM, as applicable.

- System access
- Data access and control
- Concurrent access
- Data recovery
- Accounting and auditing
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features,
administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.

As part of ongoing efforts to deliver the most current technology and to remove those features that no longer provide our customers with strategic benefits, the BookManager format for DB2 for z/OS publications will be deprecated in DB2 9. Books that are new to the DB2 9 library will not be offered in the BookManager format. The BookManager format may be dropped in the future; you should not create any new dependencies that rely on DB2 9 BookManager books, and if you have existing dependencies on them, you should develop plans to remove those dependencies.
Subsequent updates (technical newsletters or revisions between releases) to the publications shipped with the product will be distributed to the user of record for as long as a license for this software remains in effect. A separate publication order or subscription is not needed.
Customized offerings
Product deliverables are shipped only via Customized Offerings (for example, CBPDO, ServerPac, SystemPac®). CBPDO and ServerPac are offered for electronic delivery, where ShopzSeries product ordering is available. For more details on electronic delivery, refer to the ShopzSeries help information at
Media type for this software product is chosen during the customized offerings ordering process. Based on your customer environment, it is recommended that the highest possible density tape media is selected. Currently offered media types are:
- CBPDOs — 3480, 3480 Compressed, 3490E, 3590, 3592*
- ServerPacs — 3480, 3480 Compressed, 3490E, 3590, 3592*
- SystemPacs — 3480, 3480 Compressed, 3490E, 3590, 3592*
- *
- 3592 is highest density media, which will ship the fewest number of media.
Once a product becomes generally available, it will be included in the next ServerPac and SystemPac monthly update.
Production of software product orders will begin on the planned general availability date.
- CBPDO shipments will begin one week after general availability.
- ServerPac shipments will begin three weeks after inclusion in ServerPac.
- SystemPac shipments will begin four weeks after inclusion in SystemPac due to additional customization, and data input verification.

IBM Electronic Services |
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems.
