SYSIBM.LOCATIONS

SYSIBM.LOCATIONS maps the Db2 location names in connection requests to the VTAM® LU names of remote systems and, if necessary, transaction program names (TPNs).

SYSIBM.LOCATIONS must contain at least one row for each remote group, depending on the access method that is used.
  • For member-routing access, the LOCATION column of the row contains the group's location name, and the LINKNAME column of the row should contain the group's generic LU name.
  • For group-generic access, the LOCATION column of the row contains the group's Db2 location name and the LINKNAME column of the row contains that group's generic LU name.
  • For single-member access, the LOCATION column of the row contains a location alias that identifies one member of the group.
