Before performing any of the verification phases, you must
make certain decisions about your verification strategy.
About this task
Db2 system
administrators and system administrators for ISPF, TSO, batch, IMS, and CICS® must be involved in these decisions.
Procedure
To prepare for verification
- Determine the verification phases that you plan to perform.
Examine the description of each verification phase in this
topic, and determine which phases apply to your needs.
- Identify any phases that you want to modify before you
perform them.
Verification is designed to run with
little interaction on your part. This topic does not discuss how to
modify any of the phases, but you can adapt any of the seven phases
to your needs. If this is your intent, identify and describe any modifications
you plan to make.
- Establish additional testing steps to complete the verification.
The verification phases and the jobs that you run to perform
them are valuable tools for testing Db2. They are not
a substitute for a thorough subsystem test. You must plan and perform
your own additional testing to complete the verification. To help
you assess which additional tests might be necessary, examine the
sample applications that are provided with Db2.
- Start any Db2 databases
that are not currently started.
