CATOWNER


1 CATOWNER=
2.1! SYSIBM
2.1 value
CATOWNER
Specifies to FM/Db2 the owner of every Db2® catalog table or view accessed by FM/Db2.

The default is SYSIBM. This means the Db2® catalog tables are accessed directly. You can specify an alternative value if you want FM/Db2 to access a copy of the Db2® catalog tables, or views defined on the Db2® catalog tables.

Important: If you specify a value for CATOWNER, this value is used by FM/Db2 when accessing every Db2® subsystem defined in the FMN2POPT module (each subsystem is defined by a separate invocation of the FMN2SSDM macro). Therefore, if you allow FM/Db2 to access the Db2® catalog directly on one Db2® subsystem, you must do so for every Db2® subsystem accessed by FM/Db2. Similarly, if you define views on the Db2® catalog tables for one Db2® subsystem and direct FM/Db2 to access those views, you must define views, with the same owner, for every Db2® subsystem accessed by FM/Db2.
