DB2 graphic  QMF Version 8

Catalog

A QMF catalog is a set of database tables that contain resource limits, saved objects (queries, procedures, forms), reports, and other settings. QMF catalogs can only reside on database servers that host a DB2 database and are connected to using TCP/IP, SNA or CLI.

Note:
Database servers connected to using ODBC cannot host a QMF catalog.

You specify that a database server will host a QMF catalog when you create the QMF catalog objects for a database server using the Packages Wizard.

Using the Catalog window, you must specify where the objects from the database server are stored in the QMF catalog. The objects can be stored in the QMF catalog server's main catalog or they can be stored in an extended catalog.

Note:
ODBC servers do not require the use of a QMF catalog. When no QMF catalog is selected, however, the features that require a QMF catalog are disabled, such as saving a query to a server and using resource limits.
