This course is for installers of DB2 10 z/OS and/or migration to DB2 11 for z/OS using the Install CLIST. The participants are involved in lectures that explain DB2 11 components and pointers, and the processes used to install or migrate from DB2 10 for z/OS. To reinforce the lectures, a series of labs are provided to give each participant hands-on experience installing DB2 10 for z/OS and migrating to DB2 11 for z/OS.

Students access a mainframe environment for the labs.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

•  Prepare z/OS TSO environment to run the Install CLIST
•  Provide appropriate parameters for the Install CLIST
•  Execute the Install CLIST
•  Define DB2 10 for z/OS  
•  Define VSAM catalog and alias
•  Define system data sets and databases
•  Initialize system data sets and databases
•  Define DB2 10 for z/OS initialization parameters
•  Define user authorization exits
•  Record DB2 11 for z/OS data to SMF
•  Establish subsystem security
•  Verify the DB2 10 for z/OS installation
•  Update subsystem parameters
•  Create a new subsystem parameter module
•  Migrate DB2 10 for z/OS to DB2 11 for z/OS Conversion Mode
•  Enable DB2 11 for z/OS New Function Mode
•  Verify migration
•  Convert the BSDS and Catalog/Directory to 10-byte RBA and LRSN usage

Anyone responsible for maintaining, installing or migrating DB2 10 for z/OS to DB2 11 for z/OS, or installing DB2 11 for z/OS.

 The following prerequisites are suggested:

• The basic concepts and facilities of DB2
• The basic concepts of Structured Query Language (SQL)
• z/OS Time Sharing Option (TSO) and the z/OS interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF)
• Course CV832 Database Administration Part I or equivalent Work experience in a z/OS environment
• Course CV852 System Administration or equivalent
• Work experience in a z/OS environment
• Defining and allocating z/OS data sets using z/OS job control language (JCL) or equivalent experience.
