Connecting Db2 to TSO

If you are enabling data sharing, connect Db2 to TSO after you define the initialization parameters. This step is necessary only if you specified a group attachment name.

About this task

Access to TSO is required to support the interactive component of Db2 (DB2I). Access to TSO also allows batch applications to access Db2 when those batch programs are executed under the TSO terminal monitor program (TMP).

Procedure

To attach Db2 to TSO:

  1. Make Db2 load modules available to TSO and batch users.
  2. Make Db2 CLISTs available to TSO and batch users.
  3. Make PL/I options available (if applicable).
  4. Make panels, messages, and load modules available to ISPF and TSO.
  5. Connect the DB2I panels to the ISPF Main Panel.
