Specifying the metadata library for the product to customize

Edit online

You must specify a metadata library for the product 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 Db2® Automation Expert. This information controls what is displayed on the Product Parameters panel, the LPAR Parameters panel, and the DB2 Parameters panel.

After Db2 Automation Expert has been SMP/E installed, the default name of the product metadata library is high_level_qualifier.SDAJDENU, where high_level_qualifier is all of the segments of the data set name except the lowest-level qualifier.

Procedure

  1. Specify option 1 on the Tools Customizer for z/OS panel.
    The Specify the Product or Pack Metadata Library panel is displayed. This panel contains a list of the product metadata libraries that you specified most recently. If you are using Tools Customizer for the first time, this list is empty, as shown in the following figure:

  2. Use one of the following methods to specify the product 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 Db2 Automation Expert 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.
