Job DSNTIJDE

Job DSNTIJDE deletes the Db2 system data sets that are defined by job DSNTIJIN. If a job fails or abends, you might need to run DSNTIJDE job before restarting the Db2 installation process.

Job DSNTIJDE is not part of the normal installation process; use this job only for rerunning part of the process. Do not run this job during migration or fallback.

In most cases, you must remove or comment out the delete statement in this job for the ICF catalog (if the statement is present). The ICF catalog probably does not need to be deleted and redefined.

Deletes might fail for data sets that do not exist. This does not necessarily indicate that the job failed. If you receive other messages, check them carefully.

Job DSNTIJDE does not work properly if job DSNTIJSG or job DSNTIJTM has been executed. Job DSNTIJDE does not delete the resource limit specification table, the data sets that are used by the distributed data facility, or the data sets that are created for work file table spaces.

If job DSNTIJDE fails or abends, correct the error conditions and rerun the job. If you want to delete the ICF catalog, first list its contents and delete the data sets that are cataloged there. This could include sample data sets, user-defined data sets, or subsystem data sets that were not deleted properly. You can use a FORCE command to delete the user catalog. If you delete the catalog using FORCE before deleting all the data sets, you can use the RECATALOG option of DEFINE CLUSTER and delete the data sets.
