7 Creating the OAM configuration database

If you plan to start the OAM address space for object support, you must create the OAM configuration database. This database contains the Library table, the Drive table, the Slot table, the Volume table, the Deleted Object table, and the Tape Volume table.

Sample jobs are provided to help you create the OAM configuration database, create the application plans, and grant authority for the application plans to be used.

7a Modify, if necessary, and then run the CBRSAMPL SAMPLIB job.

You must perform this step at initial installation. For migration, verify that this step was performed during the original OAM installation. If this step was not performed during the original OAM installation, perform this step when you migrate from a previous release. Do not perform this step if you are using only DB2 sublevel storage (no file system, optical volumes, or tape devices), and do not start the OAM address space for processing objects.

Member CBRSAMPL in SAMPLIB (see CBRSAMPL) creates the OAM configuration database.

You must make the following changes before running the job:

In the CREATE STOGROUP statement, add:
- Your volume serial numbers (VOLUMES parameter).
- The name of your ICF catalog (use 6 characters in the VCAT parameter).

The following summarizes the changes you can make:

Choose a name for the DB2 storage group and use that name for each STOGROUP parameter.
Change a catalog password (PASSWORD parameter) in the CREATE STOGROUP statement.

Browse the output to ensure that the job completed successfully. Each SQL statement executed should have an SQLCODE of 0. Check that the final statement of the sample job (COMMIT) has executed.

Attention: The OAM configuration database is a single DB2 database with six tables. Avoid creating two OAM configuration databases with two sets of tables. Two OAM configuration databases can be mistakenly created by running sample job CBRSAMPL twice under two different user IDs. The user ID associated with the job is the user ID supplied by the system programmer with the USER= keyword on the JOB statement.

Requirement: Use ISMF to define the tape or optical libraries and optical drives to OAM.

7b Run the CBRSMR1B SAMPLIB job if you are migrating from any release earlier than z/OS V1R11.

Do not perform this step at initial installation. You must perform this step when you migrate from any release earlier than z/OS V1R11 DFSMS.

Note: Regardless of whether you intend to exploit the new function, you must modify and run this job.

This job adds the ODSTATF, ODRETDT and ODINSTID columns to the OAM Object Directory tables in DB2.

7c Run the CBRSMR1D SAMPLIB job if you are migrating from any release earlier than z/OS V1R13.

Do not perform this step at initial installation. You must perform this step when you migrate from any release earlier than z/OS V1R13 DFSMS.

Note: Regardless of whether you intend to exploit the new function, you must modify and run this job.

This job adds the File System Delete Table to the OAM Configuration Database.
