Maintenance and Other Configuration Tasks

For example, to expand the number of databases, you can create or update a DB Alias, apply maintenance for DB Alias access, or update the version of the DBMS. Similarly, you can create an additional Optim Directory, apply maintenance for Optim Directory access, or update the version of the DBMS for an Optim Directory. You can also select options to purge a DB Alias or purge an Optim Directory registry entry.

Other tasks include configuring Product and Personal Options, creating primary keys, and creating copies of DB2® z/OS® relationships to be used in Optim. You may also load or drop the sample data included with Optim; this data provides a starting point for using many features in Optim. If you have a Data Privacy License, you may also load and drop the data privacy data tables provided with Optim. You may also choose to drop a DB Alias or Optim Directory Tables as well as enable or disable the Optim Security features. Each task is described in the following sections.
