Changing the default options

Default processing options are supplied with FM/Db2 in the module FMN2POPT. You can change these options to suit your installation requirements. You also use FMN2POPT to define your Db2® subsystems, and, in a Db2® data sharing environment, your Db2® group attachment identifiers. You use the usermod FMN2UMDP to install your version of FMN2POPT.

Note: The options in FMN2POPT are also available to File Manager Base function in FMN0POPT. However, any option changed in the FM/Db2 options macro only takes effect in FM/Db2.

You change the options as follows:

  1. Copy the member FMN2POPT from FMN.SFMNSAM1 into your own source library.
  2. Change the options in FMN2POPT in your library according to your requirements. For a description of the options in FMN2POPT, and the values you can specify, see File Manager options.
  3. Include your FMN2SSDM macros, (as described in Defining all Db2 systems that FM/Db2 will access in FMN2POPT (required), and FMN2SSDM), in the FMN2POPT member in your library.
  4. Include your FMN2POPI macros (if required), (as described in Customizing the FM/Db2 options, and FMN2POPI), in the FMN2POPT member in your library.
  5. Modify the FMN2UMDP member in FMN.SFMNSAM1 to meet your site's requirements. Refer to the usermod for information about changes you might need to make.
  6. Install SMP/E usermod FMN2UMDP.
Note: You can also use the sample job FMN2POPH to assemble FMN2POPT if you do not want to use SMP/E.
