Roadmap 3: Installing server databases accessed by three-part names

Use the following roadmap to identify the installation path that supports using three-part names in QMF commands to access data at remote servers.

Procedure

Use the following roadmap to identify the installation path that is appropriate for your environment.
Figure 1. Installation roadmap for installations that use three-part names in QMF commands to access data at remote servers
This figure presents a flow chart of questions that helps you determine which installation path to follow to prepare a remote server for access by QMF commands that contain three-part names that refer to tables and views. The figure is labeled "Roadmap 3". The first question in the roadmap is "Is the database type DB2 for VSE and VM?" An answer of "Yes" goes to a statement that reads: "Path not supported. QMF commands that include three-part names cannot be directed to DB2 for VM or DB2 for VSE servers." An answer of "No" goes to the following question: "Does QMF Version 13.1 already exist in this database?" If yes, then the database is already enabled for access by three-part names in QMF commands; if no, the following question: "Will data in this database be accessed by using the QMF CONNECT command in addition to the QMF commands that include three-part names?" If yes, use roadmap 2; if no, use installation path G.

What to do next

Based on your results after you work through this roadmap, proceed to roadmap 2 or installation path G.
