If you need new DB2® for z/OS® databases, create the databases before creating your deployment environment. Even if you have no new databases, validate that all database connections are correctly configured before you continue.

Procedure

For each deployment environment that you are creating, complete the following steps:

On the target deployment manager computer, validate that all database connections are correctly configured by running the BPMConfig -validate command.
Use the following syntax:
target_install_root/bin/BPMConfig -validate -db configuration_properties_file
where
  • configuration_properties_file is the full path and name of the properties file that you copied over to the target environment after you migrated the configuration using the BPMConfig -migrate command. The BPMConfig -validate -db command uses the database properties and the database-related authentication alias properties (including passwords) from the configuration properties file. If necessary, you can update these database properties in the file, such as adding the properties for any new databases that you created.

Results

After all connections are checked, you see a message that the BPMConfig -validate command completed successfully.
