COMMAND SCOPE field

The value of the COMMAND SCOPE field controls whether the scope of the command prefix is to be one z/OS system or the entire Sysplex.

Acceptable values: SYSTEM, SYSPLEX, STARTED
Default: STARTED
Update: see DSNTIPM: MVS PARMLIB updates panel
DSNZPxxx: none
SYSTEM
Sets the scope of commands to one z/OS® system. The command prefix is registered at z/OS IPL.
SYSPLEX
Sets the scope of commands to the entire sysplex. The command prefix is registered at z/OS IPL.
STARTED
Sets the scope of commands to the entire sysplex. The command prefix is registered at Db2 startup and unregistered when Db2 stops.

Although STARTED specifies a sysplex scope, you can also use it for a Db2 subsystem in a non-data-sharing environment. Use STARTED if you intend to use the z/OS automatic restart manager, or if you might move this Db2 into a data sharing group.
