DB2 VTAM PASSWORD field
The optional DB2 VTAM® PASSWORD field specifies the password that VTAM is to use to recognize this Db2 subsystem.
| Acceptable values: | 1–8 alphanumeric characters |
|---|---|
| Default: | none |
| Update: | see Update on Updating subsystem parameters that cannot be updated by using DSNTIPB |
| DSNZPxxx: | none |
The password must begin with a letter and must not contain special characters.
This password must also be supplied to VTAM on the VTAM APPL definition statement.
If the DB2 TCP/IP IPNAME is set, TCP/IP communication is started but not SNA communications, regardless if there is a value for LUNAME. Inbound and outbound communications over TCP/IP are allowed, but Db2 makes no attempt to activate VTAM communications support.
