Defining the high-level qualifier for catalog and directory objects

You can define the high-level qualifier for catalog and directory objects.

Procedure

Use the NEWCAT statement to define the high-level qualifier that is to be used for the following objects:
  • Catalog table spaces and index spaces
  • Directory table spaces and index spaces

At startup, the Db2 system checks that the name that is recorded with NEWCAT in the BSDS is the high-level qualifier of the Db2 system table spaces that are defined in the load module for subsystem parameters.

NEWCAT is normally used only at installation time.

When you change the high-level qualifier by using the NEWCAT statement, you might specify the following statements:

//S2 EXEC PGM=DSNJU003
//SYSUT1   DD DSN=DSNC120.BSDS01,DISP=OLD
//SYSUT2   DD DSN=DSNC120.BSDS02,DISP=OLD
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
  NEWCAT VSAMCAT=DBP1

After you run the change log inventory utility with the NEWCAT statement, the utility generates output similar to the following output: 

NEWCAT VSAMCAT=DBP1
DSNJ210I OLD VASAM CATALOG NAME=DSNC120, NEW CATALOG NAME=DBP1
