Selecting the Db2® subsystem by using the Db2 SSID field
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.
