Creating shared repositories

If IMS Recovery Expert and Db2 Recovery Expert are currently installed, and you are not sharing the repository data sets, then you must convert your repositories and share them between the two products to activate the Combined SLB option.

About this task

If both products are installed and you are already using shared repositories, or if you are currently only using IMS Recovery Expert, then you do not need to perform these steps.

To create a new shared set of repositories with non-shared repositories from IMS Recovery Expert and Db2 Recovery Expert:

Procedure

  1. Edit and submit the BSYREPS1 member in the SBSYSAMP library. Instructions for editing this member are contained in the member. This job will back up your existing IMS Recovery Expert and Db2 Recovery Expert repositories into flat files so that they can be used in the next step to create the common set of shared repositories.
  2. Edit and submit the BSYREPS2 member in the SBSYSAMP library. Instructions for editing this member are contained in the member. This job will allocate a new set of shared repositories and then use IDCAMS to reproduce the individual IMS Recovery Expert and Db2 Recovery Expert repositories into the new shared set of repositories.
  3. Edit your BSYV220 and ARYV320 product invocation CLISTs, and change the variable names in the following list to the names of the newly created shared repository data sets created in step 1. The variables that reference the shared repositories are:
    • Db2CNTFL
    • RBRBPROF
    • RBRBPMAP
    • RBRBPCAT
    • RBRSBACK
    • RBRSBVOL
    • RBRSBSSD
    • RBRPOBJS
    • RBRBREPT
    • RBRBOFFL
    • RBRMOVER l
    • RBRGROUP
