INPUT MEMBER NAME field

Installing Db2

If you are installing Db2 for the first time and not using SAP, use the supplied defaults input member, DSNTIDXA. If you are using SAP, you should specify DSNTIDXB, the SAP-specific input member. If you process the panels several times within a single run of the CLIST, all the previous values that are entered, except edited output data sets, remain the same.

To install Db2 using default parameter values from a previous installation, you must supply the member that contains the output from the previous run of the CLIST. That member was specified in the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME field during the previous run of the CLIST.

Migrating to Db2 12

If you are migrating, you must specify two member names for input values: one in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field, and one in the DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field. The INPUT MEMBER NAME field must specify a member that contains the default parameter values for the new release (usually DSNTIDXA, or DSNTIDXB if you use SAP). This member is applied first to establish the CLIST parameters.

The member that is specified in the DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field must be different from the one that is specified in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field. The DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field must specify a member that contains the Db2 11 values at your site. You can create this member by running job DSNTIJXZ on your previous release. This member is applied last and it overrides the CLIST values that are established by the member that is specified in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field.

Activating a function level

If you are activating a function level, the INPUT MEMBER field value needs to be the name of the OUTPUT MEMBER NAME that you specified when you installed or migrated to Db2 12, or when you most recently activated a Db2 12 function level.

Updating an existing Db2 subsystem

Before running the CLIST in UPDATE mode, use job DSNTIJXZ to refresh the output member from the previous run of the CLIST. Specify the refreshed member in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field.
