Selecting the Db2® subsystem when more than one is available

On most FM/Db2 panels, the currently connected Db2® subsystem is displayed immediately after the product name.

For instance, in Primary Option Menu panel, FM/Db2 (DFG2) (before the panel title) shows that the current Db2® subsystem is DFG2.

If your system contains more than one active Db2® subsystem, you can select the subsystem to which you want FM/Db2 to connect by entering a value in the Db2 SSID field on the Primary Option Menu. You can also use the SSID command in some FM/Db2 panels.

The first time you use FM/Db2, if your system contains multiple active Db2® subsystems, FM/Db2 immediately displays the Db2® Subsystem Selection panel.

Note:
  1. FM/Db2 can only run on a system that has at least one active Db2® subsystem that uses a supported version of Db2®.
  2. If your system contains only one active Db2® subsystem, FM/Db2 automatically connects to that subsystem.
