This panel is used to define a DB2 Subsystem to CICS PA. The definition includes:

Scroll Right (F11) to switch between Files and Groups. Files is the initial view. However, for each system, CICS PA remembers its last view and returns there next time.

The DB2 Subsystem details are:
DB2 SSID
The DB2 Subsystem ID. A DB2 SSID can be up to four alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters. You can also specify a pattern using the % or * masking characters.
MVS Image
The SMF identifier of the MVS system where the DB2 subsystem runs. An Image ID is up to eight alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters.
Description
Description is free-format text up to 36 characters to describe the system. This is for your reference only, although CICS PA will insert it as a comment in your Report Set JCL.
DB2 Version (VRM)
The version, release, and modification level of the DB2 subsystem. This field is for your information only. DB2 Accounting records are release-dependent, but for reporting, CICS PA determines the DB2 version from the SMF file(s).

The supported releases are:

710
DB2 Version 7.1
810
DB2 Version 8.1
910
DB2 Version 9.1
Start of change10End of change
Start of changeDB2 Version 10End of change
Note: Existing DB2 Version 6.1 (610) subsystem definitions (created using an earlier release of CICS PA) are tolerated: you can continue to use them for reporting. However, if you edit a DB2 Version 6.1 subsystem definition, then you must update it to a supported release. You cannot create new definitions for DB2 Version 6.1 subsystems.

The primary commands are the same as on the CICS® System panel, see CICS System (APPLID) definition.

The lists of related Files and Groups work the same here as on the CICS System panel, see Files the System uses for the Files and Groups the System belongs to for the Groups.

Note: Usually, you only need to specify files for DB2 subsystems when the DB2 Accounting records reside in a different data set to the CICS CMF records.
