Setting the Execution Starting Point for a Satellite

You set the execution starting point for a satellite for one of two reasons:

• You are using test satellites to execute the test-level group batches. In this situation, you may need to reset the execution starting point. To perform this task:
  1. Select the test satellite from the satellite details view, and click the right mouse button.
  2. Select Edit from the pop-up menu.

     The Edit Satellite notebook opens.

  3. Select the Batches page.
  4. Set the satellite to begin executing each batch from the appropriate batch step.
  5. Click OK.
• You also set the execution starting point if you are migrating a system that was already running DB2 to DB2 Satellite Edition.

  If you have satellites that were already configured when they joined the group, you will probably want them to begin executing the group-level batches of the application version at different batch steps than those satellites that have not yet executed batches, or are not yet properly configured. For more information, see Planning the Migration to DB2 Satellite Edition.

  To perform this task, use the Set Execution Starting Point window, which is available from the Satellite Administration Center.
