Step 1--Provide QMF NLF installation parameters

In this step, you provide information that describes your QMF and DB2 environments. You are presented with a series of QMF Installation Dialog panels that let you "fill-in" the required data. Use the information that you provided in the worksheet, Table 19.

Preparation

Before starting this step, consider the following requirements:

  1. You must be in an active ISPF session.
  2. If you have not used the QMF target library names as originally specified in DSQ1nJAL (for example, no user changes other than allowed variables, such as QMFTPRE), you must either alter the DSQ1nINS, DSQ1nIN1, and DSQ1nIN2 CLISTS, or skip to Steps 4-8--Submit jobs manually.
  3. If you are installing QMF into another database, ensure that the QMF target libraries you are using for the installation cannot be accessed by users of other databases during installation.
  4. Fixed-block SDSQCLTn and SDSQEXCn are required for Steps 1 through 3.

Execution

Enter the following:

TSO EXEC 'prefix.SDSQCLTn(DSQ1nINS)' 'QMFPRE(prefix)'

where prefix is the QMF target library prefix you provided in the worksheet.

Obtain the parameter input panels, in one of the following ways:

As you enter the information on each panel, your input is saved in the QMF720.SDSQCLTn library under the database name that you chose.

If you leave this step before completing the last panel, your input will not be saved. The last panel asks you for job card information used to tailor the installation. If you plan to install in the foreground, you do not need to provide job card information; just enter x in the indicated spot on the panel.

When you have supplied the last installation parameter, the Main menu is displayed. If you want to review or modify the parameters, enter P and proceed through the input panels again.

If you are satisfied with your installation parameters, continue with the next step. If you prefer, you can leave the installation process at this point and return later; your installation parameters are saved. Use the information from your worksheets to work through the panels.

Main menu

The main menu is displayed if you saved any install parameters. Otherwise, it is the first panel you see when you invoke the install.

This menu lets you provide installation parameters, tailor jobs, install QMF NLF in the foreground, or exit install dialogs.

    PRESS:  ENTER TO CONTINUE    PF01 FOR HELP    PF03  TO END
 
 
 
Note
The last-used DB2 subsystem name is displayed on this panel.

The following options are available on this panel:

P
Customizes QMF NLF install parameters, which are described in the following panels.

If you want to customize QMF NLF install parameters for another DB2 subsystem, you can ignore the DB2 subsystem name displayed in this panel and proceed to the next panel by entering "P".

T
Tailors all the required NLF install data sets for QMF 7.

These panels are not displayed in this manual.

I
Installs QMF NLF in foreground. This option lets you submit the jobs (steps 4 through 8) in an online environment.
X
Exits the install dialogs.
Local DB2 parameters

This panel is displayed first if you have not saved any install parameters. Otherwise, it is displayed only if you have chosen the "P" option.
