DB2 Data Links Manager Quick Beginnings

Creating a DFS Fileset for DataLinks Configuration

Ask your DCE cell administrator to set up a DFS fileset to hold the Data Links Manager configuration files. This must be a LFS (not a DMLFS) fileset and must have mount point /:/DataLinks. This directory should have the owner and group set to the DLMADMIN user and group. This fileset should not be replicated. Make sure that this fileset is backed up on a regular basis. Your DCE cell administrator should also perform the following tasks.

1. Ensure that the ACLs of /: are set so that any_other for /: is {any_other r-x---}. To verify this setting, enter the following command:

      dcecp -c acl show /: | grep any_other
   

2. The DCE Object ACL for /:/DataLinks must be set up as follows:

      {mask_obj r-x---}
      {user_obj rwxcid}
      {group_obj r-x---}
      {other_obj r-x---}
      {any_other r-x---}
   

   To verify these settings, enter the following command:

      dcecp -c acl show /:/DataLinks
   

3. The DCE Initial Container Creation ACL for /:/DataLinks must be set up as follows:

      {mask_obj r-x---}
      {user_obj rwxcid}
      {group_obj r-x---}
      {other_obj r-x---}
      {any_other r-x---}
   

   To verify these settings, enter the following command:

      dcecp -c acl show /:/DataLinks -ic
   

4. The DCE Initial Object Creation ACL for /:/DataLinks must be set up as follows:

      {mask_obj r-x---}
      {user_obj rwxcid}
      {group_obj r-x---}
      {other_obj r-x---}
      {any_other r-x---}
   

   To verify these settings, enter the following command:

      dcecp -c acl show /:/DataLink -io
   

5. The DCE adminstrator should change the owner/group of /:/DataLinks to DLMADMIN by entering the following command:

      chown dlmadmin.dlmadmin /:/DataLinks
