DSNTIPA1 or DSNTILA1: Main panel

The entries on the Main panel control input to and output from the installation CLIST.

When processing is complete, this panel is displayed again. The values that you enter are saved in the ISPF profile for your authorization ID and are displayed each time that you run the CLIST.

To save your panel input, you must specify an output member name in the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME field.

The DSNTINST CLIST saves the panel input into your DSNTIDxx output member just before the CLIST issues this message:

Recommended approach for new installers

If you are installing for the first time, try the following suggestions.

In the INSTALL TYPE field, enter INSTALL.
Set the PREFIX and SUFFIX fields to the values that you used when you allocated the Db2 libraries by using job DSNALLOC.
In the INPUT MEMBER NAME field, use DSNTIDXA (the default) for the first run. If you are using SAP, specify DSNTIDXB, the SAP-specific CLIST input member, instead. For any later runs, the CLIST sets the default input name to the prior output name.
Specify a value in the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME field to save your options. Specify values in the TEMP CLIST LIBRARY, CLIST LIBRARY, and SAMPLE LIBRARY fields on installation panel DSNTIPT when you want output data sets tailored.

Important: Do not run the installation jobs before tailoring them with the CLIST. If you want to update the parameters later, the CLIST sets the default input name to the prior output name.

DSNTILA1: Main panel for generating z/OSMF workflows and provisioning Db2 subsystems

When you specify USE Z/OSMF WORKFLOW ===> YES, panel DSNTILA1 opens, and the CLIST runs with a modified set of installation panels that support the generation of z/OSMF workflows. For more information about the modified panels, see Installation panels for installing or migrating with z/OSMF.

You can also specify INSTALL TYPE ===> PROVISION to specify that you are running the CLIST to prapare artifiacts for services that provision Db2 subsystems. For more information, see Creating artifacts for provisioning Db2 by running the installation CLIST.

The CLIST continues to run starting with the DSNTILA1 and the other modified panels unless and until you set USE Z/OSMF WORKFLOW ===> NO.
