Create Copies of DB2 z/OS Relationships

To facilitate use of the Optim™ solutions with DB2® for z/OS® tables, copy the DB2 relationships into the Optim directory. The configuration program provides an option to copy these relationships to the Optim directory. By using this configuration task, you copy all DB2 relationships at one time. If you do not copy the relationships during configuration and later process DB2 for z/OS data, the relationships for a processed schema are copied at run time. This extra processing adds time at run time to access information in the catalog. You can start the configuration process by selecting Create Copies of DB2 z/OS Relationships from the Tasks menu, or by selecting the Configuration Assistant from the Help menu.

Specify Optim Directory

Use the Specify Optim Directory dialog (see Specify Optim Directory) to select the name of the Optim directory. Click Proceed to open the next dialog in the process.

Create/Select DB Alias

Use the Create/Select DB Alias dialog (seeCreate/Select DB Alias) to specify the DB alias for the DB2 for z/OS database where the relationships are to be copied. Click Proceed to open the next dialog.

Not a DB2 for z/OS Database

If the DB alias is not for a DB2 for z/OS database, the configuration program displays the Not a DB2 for z/OS Database dialog. This dialog prompts you to return to the Create/Select DB Alias dialog to select another DB alias. To continue, click Proceed.

Create Copies of DB2 for z/OS Relationships?

If the DB alias is for a DB2 for z/OS database, the configuration program prompts you to confirm that relationships are to be copied, by using the Create Copies of DB2 for z/OS Relationships? dialog. Select the check box and click Proceed to copy the relationships to the Optim directory.

Create Copies for Another?

After the DB2 for z/OS relationships are copied to the Optim directory, the configuration program prompts you to copy relationships for another DB alias. If so, use the Create/Select DB Alias dialog, to choose another DB alias. If not, the process completes.
