Installation step 7: Initialize system data sets: DSNTIJID, DSNTIJIE, and DSNTIJIF

After you define your system data sets and Db2 initialization parameters, you must initialize your system data sets.

Procedure

To initialize system data sets:

Run the following jobs in the specified order:
  1. DSNTIJID
  2. DSNTIJIE
  3. DSNTIJIF
  • If the jobs run successfully, they produce return codes of 0. Otherwise, check for and resolve error conditions that might be reported by VSAM messages.
  • If any of the jobs fail or abend, remove the ICF catalog delete statements (job step DSNTIVC) from job DSNTIJDE, run job DSNTIJDE, and then rerun the following jobs:
    • DSNTIJIN
    • DSNTIJUZ
    • DSNTIJUA
    • DSNTIJUM
    • DSNTIJUL
    • DSNTIJID
    • DSNTIJIE
    • DSNTIJIF
    .

Results

Job DSNTIJID records the active log data set names to the BSDS, formats the active log data sets, and initializes the Db2 directory table spaces and indexes.

Job DSNTIJIE initializes the Db2 catalog table spaces and indexes (through the SYSGRTNS table space).

Job DSNTIJIF initializes the remaining Db2 catalog table spaces and indexes.
