When you start FM/Db2, the Primary Option Menu panel is displayed.

The Db2 SSID field shows the ID of the Db2® subsystem to which FM/Db2 is currently connected. (The Db2® subsystem is also shown before the panel title.) In Primary Option Menu panel, FM/Db2 is connected to the DFG2 subsystem.

To select a Db2® subsystem using the Db2 SSID field, you can use any of the following methods:

Overtype the SSID that is currently displayed with the ID of another active Db2® subsystem, and then press Enter.
For example, in Primary Option Menu panel, to connect to the Db2® subsystem DFB2, overtype DFG2 with DFB2, and then press Enter.
Enter an asterisk (*) or blanks in the Db2 SSID field, and then press Enter. FM/Db2 displays the Db2 Subsystem Selection panel showing a list of all the Db2® subsystems in your environment from which you can select the Db2® subsystem you want.
Enter a partial ID, starting or ending with an asterisk (*), or enclosed within two asterisks, in the Db2 SSID field, and then press Enter. FM/Db2 displays the Db2 Subsystem Selection panel showing a restricted list of Db2® subsystems from which you can select the Db2® subsystem you want.
The following examples demonstrate how you can use the (*) wildcard if specifying a partial Db2® subsystem ID:

DB*

Lists all Db2® subsystems whose ID starts with DB

*TST

Lists all Db2® subsystems whose ID ends with TST

*2*

Lists all Db2® subsystems whose ID contains 2

Note: To change the Db2® subsystem from a panel other than the Primary Option Menu panel, use the SSID command.
