Customizing

Using Tools Customizer to customize consists of identifying the product to customize; defining any required , LPAR, and Db2® parameters; generating the customization jobs; and submitting the jobs.

Customization roadmaps describe the steps that you must complete to customize . Separate roadmaps are provided for the three most common types of customizations.

Use the following table to determine which roadmap corresponds to your environment.

Table 1. Customization roadmaps
Environment description	Roadmap
You do not have a customized version of , and you need to customize it for the first time.	Roadmap: Customizing for the first time
You have already customized a version of , and you want to use the same parameter values to customize a different version.	Roadmap: Customizing a new version of from a previous customization
You have a customized version of of , but you want to change one or more parameter values.	Roadmap: Recustomizing

Verifying version 4.5 installation

Once customization is complete, it's a good idea to run an Installation Verification Program or job (IVP).

To run the IVP against a specific SSID, update the ETIIN DD with the following code, where DBT1 is an example SSID:

//ETIIN DD *
 SSID DBT1
 /*

The following is a complete example of the JCL code for an IVP:

//ETIIVP JOB ,'VERIFY ETI',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID            
//*

Note: The IVP does not need to be run for each LPAR. It's usually better to run them for the entire SYSPLEX. This allows information to be accessed across the LPARs, requiring less tailoring of started tasks and CLIST.
