DB2 Server for VSE & VM: Operation

DB2 Server for VSE Parameters

The following table contains initialization parameters specific to the VSE environment.

Parameter Default Description

ACCOUNT=T|D|E|N
N Accounting
This 1-character field indicates whether the database manager is to generate accounting records. N indicates no accounting records are to be generated. D, E or T indicates that you want the database manager to generate accounting records. D means that you want the database manager to write the records to a sequential DASD file. E means that you want the database manager to write records to a VSAM ESDS file. T means that you want the database manager to write the records to a tape file.
If you specify T, D, or E, your job control for starting the application server must include appropriate TLBL, DLBL, EXTENT, and ASSGN statements. The DB2 Server for VSE System Administration manual describes how to set up accounting files and appropriate job control.

DBNAME=server-name
SQLDS Server-Name
This optional 1- to 18-character field specifies the name of the application server to be accessed. It is used by the database manager to verify that the application requesters are accessing the intended application server when they attempt to connect to the database machine.
If the DBNAME is not specified, the partition or system default will be assumed.

DBPSWD=password None Database Password
The password is a 1- to 8-character field that provides the VSAM password for the database. If a VSAM CONTROLPW or MASTERPW password was defined for the DB2 Server for VSE data sets at database generation, the password must match it exactly. This value is not displayed with the others during initialization.

DSPLYDEV=L|C|B
L Display Device
This one-character field indicates where output such as the initialization parameter values and the minidump is to be routed. L indicates SYSLST. C indicates SYSLOG. B indicates both SYSLST and SYSLOG.

RMTUSERS=nnnnn
0 Maximum number of remote users accessing the application server
This parameter lets you specify the number of remote users that can access the application server. The allowable range of users is 0 to 65535; the practical value of RMTUSERS depends on the availability of virtual storage.
When a value has not been specified or nnnnn has the value zero, remote users will not be able to access the application server.
