DB2 Server for VSE & VM: Operation

Starting the Application Server in a VSE Environment

You can start the application server in a VSE system just as you would start any batch job:

• By a set of job control statements entered with SYSIN (or SYSRDR)
• By job control commands entered from the operator console
• By cataloged procedures that you create.

The following is one example of job control (JCL) used to start the application server:

// JOB START SQL // EXEC PROC=ARIS71DB // EXEC PROC=ARIS71PL // EXEC ARISQLDS,SIZE=AUTO /* /&

For procedure ARIS71DB, substitute your own procedure that contains DLBL statements for your own database. (ARIS71DB identifies a starter database that is usually generated when you install this product.)

Procedure ARIS71PL contains the LIBDEF statements that refer to the DB2 Server for VSE libraries used in a production environment. Procedure ARIS71PL is created when you install this product.

Both procedures ARIS71DB and ARIS71PL are in other examples in this manual. If you are not sure which procedures you should specify, contact the person who installed this product.

When starting the application server, you can specify initialization parameters that determine how the application server operates. If you do not specify parameters, defaults are used. The previous example shows job control used to start the application server without specifying initialization parameters. Initialization parameters are usually specified at startup.
