Specifying the metadata library for the product or pack to customize

You must specify a metadata library for the product or the pack that you want to customize.

About this task

The product metadata library contains the information that determines which tasks, steps, and parameters are required to customize a product or components in a pack. This information controls what is displayed on the Product Parameters panel or the Component Parameters panel, the LPAR Parameters panel, and the DB2 Parameters panel.

After a product or a pack has been SMP/E installed, the default name of the product metadata library is hlq.SxxxDENU, where hlq is the high-level qualifier for the product or the pack, and xxx is the three-character prefix for the product or the pack.

Procedure

Use one of the following methods to specify the product or the pack metadata library:
- Type the name of a fully qualified partitioned data set (PDS) or an extended partitioned data set (PDSE) in the Product or pack metadata library field. Double quotation marks (") cannot be used around the name. Single quotation marks (') can be used but are not required. If you are customizing a product or a pack for the first time, you must use this method.
- Place the cursor in any column of the Recent Metadata Libraries list, and press Enter to populate Product or pack metadata library field. Press Enter again to select product or pack for customization.

Results

If you are customizing a product for the first time, the Run Discover EXEC panel is displayed. Otherwise, the panel is displayed, if you have only the default configuration, or if you have multiple configurations, the Manage Multiple Configurations of a Product panel is displayed.
If you are customizing a pack, the Select the Components to Customize panel is displayed.

What to do next

If you are customizing a product, complete the steps that correspond to your environment:
Customizing a product for the first time

Do not run the product Discover EXEC. Press End. The Customizer Workplace panel is displayed. If your environment requires associated DB2® entries, ensure that they are created and associated. If your environment does not require associated DB2 entries, skip this step, and edit the product parameters.

Customizing a product from a previous or current customization

Press Enter to run the product Discover EXEC. The Discover Customized Product Information panel is displayed. Specify the required information for running the EXEC.

Customizing a product with multiple configurations that were discovered or manually defined

Select one or more configurations that you want to use.
If you are customizing a pack, select the components of the pack that you want to customize.
