Roadmaps for distributed unit of work configurations

How you set up QMF for the distributed unit of work method depends on whether you intend to use the QMF CONNECT command with three-part names.

If you intend to use three-part names, but not the QMF CONNECT command for remote data access, complete the following steps:

  1. Follow Roadmap 1: Installing QMF in stand-alone or requester databases (Db2 for z/OS only) to install QMF in the requester database.
  2. Follow Roadmap 3: Installing server databases accessed by three-part names to prepare the remote server for access by QMF three-part names.

If you intend to use the QMF CONNECT command in addition to three-part names for remote data access, complete the following steps:

  1. Follow Roadmap 1: Installing QMF in stand-alone or requester databases (Db2 for z/OS only) to install QMF in the requester database.
  2. Follow Roadmap 2: Installing QMF in server databases accessed by the QMF CONNECT command to install QMF in the remote server. The installation paths that are associated with roadmap 2 prepare the server to be accessed by both the QMF CONNECT command and three-part names.
    Restriction: QMF commands that include three-part names cannot be directed to DB2® for VSE and VM servers.
