Required DB2 for VM knowledge
Although
QMF has been designed to be installed with a minimum of DB2 for VM
knowledge, some knowledge of DB2 for VM is required.
General:
- Identifying programs and userids through the CONNECT command. Understand
how the CONNECT command can be used to acquire DBA authority. For
more details, see DB2 Server for VSE & VM Database Administration
- What a DBSPACE is and the meaning of a PUBLIC or PRIVATE DBSPACE. DBSPACEs
are discussed briefly in QMF DBSPACE requirements. For more details,
see DB2 Server for VSE & VM Database Administration
- CREATE, INSERT, and GRANT SQL statements. These SQL statements
are used in the QMF installation procedure. Information on what
these statements do and how to change them is found in DB2 Server for VSE & VM SQL Reference
- Preprocessing a program. All application programs that contain
SQL commands must be preprocessed. Information about preprocessing
a program is in DB2 Server for VSE & VM Application Programming
- Familiarity with the terms "remote unit of work", "application
requester", and "application server".
- remote unit of work
- QMF supports remote unit of work. With remote unit of work
you can connect to locations that have QMF installed in either the DB2 or
the DB2 for VM database system.
- application requester and server
- If you use remote unit of work support to access other remote
databases, then each VM user machine that can be used to run QMF
is known as an application requester for QMF. Each
database that contains the QMF database objects is known as an application
server for QMF.
- Understanding how CMS communications directories are used by
DB2 for VM.
