Step 10--Load QMF database packages to a remote server (optional): DSQ2BPKB

In order for a QMF Version 7.2 requester installation to be able to communicate to a server, QMF Version 7.2 packages must be present at the server. If a complete QMF Version 7.2 new or migration installation was performed at the server, communications can be started and nothing further needs to be done.

For those servers containing QMF Version 3.2 or above where migration is not an option, you can run the install package job, DSQ2BPKB, to install QMF Version 7.2 packages at the remote server. Then access from QMF for VM Version 7.2 to that remote server is enabled. Following is a list of the DB2 servers types that are supported from QMF for VM for remote access and the minimum version/release required at the server.

• DB2 for OS/390 Version 3.1
• DB2 for VM/VSE Version 3.5
• DB2 Universal Database Version 5
• DataJoiner Version 2
• DB2 Common Server Version 2.1
• DB2 Parallel Edition Version 1.2
• DataJoiner Version 1.2
• DB2 UDB for iSeries Version 4.4

Here is a list of considerations for running the job (DSQ2BPKB) to load QMF database packages to a remote server:

1. The application server must contain at least QMF Version 3.2. For brand new installs, the QMF installation package and QMF control tables (at least) must be present.
2. DRDA communications between the DB2 application requester and the DB2 application server must be defined and operational.
3. The DB2 DRDA application server must be started.
4. The connect userid at the server must have administrator authority.
5. This job can be rerun.
