Verify the CLI.INI file

About this task

Note: The CLI.INI file contains the configuration information for ODBC that ARSSOCKD uses to connect to the correct DB2® subsystem. This file is pointed to by the value of DSNAOINI. This value could be already set within your installation by a DSANOINI DD statement in JCL or as a HFS file as in the example. See Start of change

DB2® V10 for z/OS® ODBC Guide and Reference End of change

for more information about configuring the CLI.INI file.

The following shows an example of the CLI.INI file with the minimum keywords required; however, other keywords might be present.

[COMMON]
MVSDEFAULTSSID=DSNA
[DSNA]
PLANNAME=DSNACLI

Where:

MVSDEFAULTSSID=DSNA: Identifies to ODBC the DB2 subsystem name or group attachment name in a data sharing group.
PLANNAME=DSNACLI: If the plan for ODBC is not the default plan DSNACLI, you must specify the plan with PLANNAME=plan

Verify that the ARSSOCKD owner has execute privilege on the ODBC plan (for example, DSNACLI). If the ID does not have access, the customer needs to grant the access. One way to do that is

GRANT EXECUTE ON PLAN planname TO arssockd owner

Note: Content Manager OnDemand does not support the RRSAF value of the MVSATTACHTYPE keyword in the CLI.INI file. If the MVSATTACHTYPE keyword is specified, the value must be CAF (that is, MVSATTACHTYPE=CAF).
