  If users are preparing to migrate to Db2 13 or to activate a
  Db2 13 function level, they can avoid working through the Db2
  installation CLIST panels in interactive mode by running a
  batch job with valid input parameter files to generate required
  JCL jobs and other artifacts.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This PTF adds new parts DSNTIDOM, DSNTIDON, DSNTIDOA, and
  DSNTIJBC in the prefix.SDSNSAMP target library, adds a new
  program DSNTIFMT in the prefix.SDSNLOAD target library, and
  generates a new Db2 installation CLIST, which can run in the
  background and enables users to generate tailored Db2
  migration or function level activation jobs.
  - DSNTIDOM is a parameter override file that provides
    overriding values for migrating a stand-alone Db2 subsystem
    or the first member of a Db2 data sharing group to a new
    release of Db2.
  - DSNTIDON is a parameter override file that provides
    overriding values for migrating the second or subsequent
    member of a Db2 data sharing group to a new release of Db2.
  - DSNTIDOA is a parameter override file that provides
    overriding values for activating a Db2 function level when
    using the Db2 installation CLIST DSNTINSB in batch mode.
  - DSNTIJBC is a JCL job that consists of these two basic
    steps:
    o Executes the program DSNTIFMT, which creates the Db2
      installation CLIST DSNTINSB. DSNTIFMT is a program that
      formats DSNTINST into a member called DSNTINSB, which is
      then executed to generate customized parts in batch. The
      generated DSNTINSB installation CLIST is the same as
      DSNTINST but can be called using JCL to be executed in
      the background mode.
    o Starts DSNTINSB using ISPSTART to run the Db2
      installation CLIST in batch mode.
