Deciding the value of db2_repos and db2_subsys
Use the following decision table to determine the value of db2_repos and db2_subsys in Table 1. You have the option of using either VSAM data sets or DB2® tables as the repositories for the PKI Services object store and ICL. For information about these options, see Creating the object store and ICL. If you use DB2, the PKI Services daemon needs authorization to the DB2 Resource Recovery Services Access Facility (RRSAF). If you use VSAM, the PKI Services daemon and administrator need authorization to the VSAM data sets.
| If … | Then … | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| You plan to use VSAM … | Do not change the default of db2_repos=0. Do not change db2_subsys; it is ignored. | The value of db2_repos should be consistent with the value of the DBType parameter in the pkiserv.conf configuration file. |
| You plan to use DB2 … | Set db2_repos=1. Set db2_subsys to the name of the local DB2 subsystem or the group attachment name for the object store and ICL. | The value of db2_repos should be consistent with the value of the DBType parameter in the pkiserv.conf configuration file. The value of db2_subsys should be the same as the value of the DBSubsystem parameter in the pkiserv.conf configuration file. |
