Choosing the error option

You can specify an action for your system to take in the event of an initialization or authorization error.

Set the &ERROROPT value to choose which action you want the system to take in the event of an initialization or authorization error. If you do not set this option or allow it to default to &ERROROPT 1, native Db2 authorization is used in the event of an error.

If you select &ERROROPT 2, you can request the Db2 subsystem to stop when one of the following events occurs:

• An initialization error, such as when there are no active RACF classes found for the initializing Db2 subsystem.
• The exit routine abends, causing the accumulated number of exit routine abends to exceed the threshold specified during installation (AUTH EXIT LIMIT).
• Db2 receives an unexpected return code (EXPLRC1) from the RACF access control module.
