Starting a data sharing member

To start members of a Db2 data sharing group, you must enter a START DB2 command for each member of the group.

If this is the first startup for the data sharing group, you must start the originating member first.

Impact of command prefix scope: If Db2 is installed with a command prefix scope of STARTED (the default and recommended value), you must issue the START DB2 command from thez/OS® system on which you want to start Db2 or you must route the command to that z/OS system. For example, to route the START DB2 command to the z/OS system on which you want to start DB1A, issue the following command:

ROUTE MVS1,-DB1A START DB2

After Db2 is started, you can issue all other commands from any z/OS system in the Parallel Sysplex®, and the commands are routed to the appropriate member.
