Planning for Db2 data sharing

Db2 data sharing introduces special requirements for your Db2 and z/OS environments.

Parallel Sysplex requirements for Db2 data sharing
Db2 data sharing depends on hardware and software components in the z/OSParallel Sysplex®.
Naming in Db2 data sharing
By maintaining a consistent naming convention, you can simplify the process of naming the many items in a Db2 data sharing environment. You also simplify the management of name changes, as you add new members or move existing members to different systems in the future.
Planning for availability in a data sharing environment
When planning your data sharing configuration for the high availability, the primary concerns are the physical protection of the coupling facility, the structures in the coupling facility, and network connectivity. The SCA and lock structure are both necessary for the data sharing group to function.
Storage estimates for data sharing environments
As part of planning for a data sharing environment, you should estimate the storage requirements for coupling facility structures and for Db2 resources.
Before you enable Db2 data sharing
You must take certain actions to prepare your environment for Db2 data sharing.
Application design planning for data sharing
Particular considerations apply to applications for use in Db2 data sharing environments.
