DDF STARTUP OPTION field (DDF subsystem parameter)
The DDF subsystem parameter specifies whether the distributed data facility (DDF) is loaded at Db2 startup, and whether DDF is started automatically or by a command.
| Acceptable values: |  AUTO, COMMAND, NO |
|---|---|
| Default: | AUTO |
| Update: | option 45 on panel DSNTIPB |
| DSNZPxxx: | DSN6FAC DDF |
- AUTO
- DDF is automatically loaded and started when the Db2 subsystem is started. AUTO is the default value.
- NO
- DDF is not loaded at Db2 startup, and DDF cannot be started with a command.
If you specify NO, the stored procedures sample application and DDF sample jobs (DSNTEJ6, DSNTEJ6D, DSNTEJ6P, DSNTEJ6S, DSNTEJ6T, DSNTEJ6Z, DSNTEJ61, DSNTEJ62, DSNTEJ63, DSNTEJ64, DSNTEJ65, and DSNTEJ66) are not edited.
Also, the remaining fields on the DSNTIPR panel are ignored, so you can accept the default values.
- COMMAND
- DDF is loaded at Db2 startup but not started. However, DDF is prepared to receive the START DDF command.
If AUTO or COMMAND is specified, the DDF address space (ssnmDIST) is started when Db2 starts.
