Road maps for the QMF installation process

This section lists the QMF install options types and the DB2 UDB for OS/390 objects created under each install option. For more information about these objects, see Appendix B. QMF Objects Residing in DB2.

• Initial installation or migration
  • Preliminary: Read the program directory and complete the worksheets.
  • Complete the SMPE installation as described in the program directory.
  • Begin a full database install.
• Full database installation
  • Do STEPS 1 and 2.
  • To install in BATCH mode, proceed to STEPS 3 through 16, or
  • To install in FOREGROUND mode, do STEP 3.

  This type of installation creates the following at the local DB2 UDB for OS/390, which is the subsystem where the QMF application plan is bound:

  • QMF target and distribution libraries
  • Two installation packages
  • One QMF installation plan
  • QMF control tables
  • QMF catalog views
  • Table space for QMF SAVE DATA and IMPORT TABLE commands
  • QMF sample tables
  • QMF application packages
  • One QMF application plan

  You need to perform a full install when:

  • It is the initial installation of QMF.
  • It is the only installation of QMF.
  • You need to access more than one local DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem from QMF. Perform this type of installation for each additional local DB2 UDB for OS/390 installation.
• Server database installation
  • Do STEPS 1 and 2.
  • To install in BATCH mode, proceed to steps 8 through 16, or
  • To install in FOREGROUND mode, do step 3.

  This type of installation creates:

  • Two installation packages at the DB2 UDB for OS/390 application server
  • One QMF installation plan (using the application server name as the CURRENTSERVER location) at the local DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem
  • QMF control tables
  • QMF catalog views
  • Table space for QMF SAVE DATA and IMPORT TABLE commands
  • QMF sample tables
  • QMF application packages

  You need to perform a server database install when you plan to access data that is defined in a different DB2 UDB for OS/390 database. You can run this type of installation on any DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem that is accessible from your local DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem. Perform the installation from the local DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem.

  For information about installing QMF for a Workstation Database Server, see Tailoring QMF for Workstation Database Servers.

• Requester database installation
  • Do steps 1 and 2.
  • To install in BATCH mode, run steps 8, 15, and 16, or
  • To install in FOREGROUND mode, run step 3.

  This type of installation creates:

  • Two installation packages at the local DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem
  • One QMF installation plan
  • One QMF package (DSQIRDBR)
  • One QMF application plan
  • QMF run-time libraries

  You need to perform a requester database install when you need to access other databases using remote unit of work and you are planning to use this DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem as the local DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem when running QMF. You can establish a QMF application requester on a DB2 UDB for OS/390 subsystem that is defined on the same OS/390 system where the QMF run-time libraries are installed.
