Installing QMF 7.2 into the DB2 for VM database
This chapter explains the steps for performing a database-only
installation of QMF Version 7.2. If you have already installed QMF Version
7.2 and want to install it into another database, follow the directions
in this chapter.
If you are installing QMF Version 7.2 for the first time,
read the QMF Program Directory first
and complete the steps listed therein to unload QMF from tape to disk.
Check the program directory for modifications to the procedures
described in this chapter, then complete the steps in this chapter
to complete the QMF database installation.
The QMF installation uses the Restructured Extended Executor
(REXX) language execs to install QMF into the DB2 for VM database.
For information on how to use REXX, see VM System Product Interpreter Reference.
Installation considerations:
- The QMF-supplied execs that install QMF into a database are
designed to prompt the installer for variable information. There
is no requirement for your installation to change the supplied installation
EXECs. Every prompt message asks for variable input, and each offers
an optional "help" or "cancel" response.
- If help is issued, a small abstract of the prompt request is
displayed.
- If cancel is issued, the exec terminates.
- All variables are resolved before execution of any given installation
step, which can be restarted from the beginning.
- Several output files from the execs are routed to the printer.
You may want to spool your printer to HOLD before you start the
database installation.
