Modifying the current utility ID

You can use utility ID window to define or modify the name to be used to identify the currently selected DB2 for OS/390 utilities. These steps are part of the larger task of running utilities. When you complete the steps for changing the utility ID, return to the current utility.

To create or change a utility ID template:

  1. In the Utility ID field, type an identifier, or accept the current value. This utility ID is used to identify the currently selected utility. The resolved length of the utility identifier can be no longer than 16 characters. If you do not create your own identifier, the Control Center generates a default utility ID from the date and timestamp. The default format is CCMMddhhmmssuuu, where:
    CC is the Control Center, MM is the month (01-12), dd is the day (01-31), hh is the hour, mm is the minute, ss is the second and uuu is the first 3 digits of a 6 digit microsecond.

  2. Optional: Select the Do not display again check box to use the current utility ID, which is generated from a utility template for each subsequent utility. You will not have the opportunity to modify the subsequent identifiers again unless you reset this option by updating the properties on the OS/390 page in the Tools Settings notebook.

    Note: If there is an error when expanding the template, the utility ID window will be displayed even though the check box is checked.

  3. Click OK to continue executing the utility.
