This parameter indicates the instance name that is used by the Scheduler, along with toolscat_db and toolscat_schema, to identify the tools catalog database.
The tools catalog database contains task information created by the Task Center and the Control Center. The tools catalog database must be listed in the database directory of the instance specified by this configuration parameter. The database can be local or remote. If the tools catalog database is local, the instance must be configured for TCP/IP. If the database is remote, the database partition cataloged in the database directory must be a TCP/IP node.
This parameter can only be updated from a Version 8 command line processor (CLP).
