Defining LPAR parameters
LPAR parameters are parameters on the local LPAR that are required to customize Db2® Automation Expert.
Procedure

parameters field, and press Enter. The LPAR Parameters panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure:
You can use the following primary commands on this panel:
- SAVE
- Saves the specified product or component parameter values.
- VERIFY / VERIFYOFF
- Use the VERIFY and VERIFYOFF commands to turn on and off parameter verification of LPAR
parameters. Before you can generate customization jobs, you must verify that all required parameters
are set to a valid value. The LPAR parameter status of
Verify Values
on the Customize Workplace panel indicates that the values have not been verified.Enter these commands either by typing them in the command field and pressing Enter or by positioning the cursor on the command and pressing Enter. When VERIFY is active, VERIFYOFF is displayed so that you can toggle between the two states. By default, verification is turned on when you display the LPAR Parameters panel, and the verification state is reset to VERIFY every time you exit the Customization Workplace panel by pressing PF3.
Turning verification off is useful when you need to exit the panel before you have entered all of the required parameters, but you want to save the parameters that you have specified. When you disable verification, it is disabled only for the LPAR Parameters Values panel.

that are displayed. Many parameters have default values, which you can either accept or change.Tips:
