DB2 subsystem GRP1 is at 111 using UTLGLD11

Resolution

To make the mixed mode Data Sharing environment work for the utilities regardless of which LPAR the utility is routed would require utilization
of the ENVDEF member and 2 PTISYSxx / SETUPxx members in hlq.CDBAPARM.

 

Sample:

-DISPLAY GROUP:

GRP1 (Logical Group)
MEM1 (v10) / LP01
MEM2 (v10) / LP02
MEM3 (v11) / LP03
MEM4 (v11) / LP04

  

SETUP00:

SSID (GRP1)
SSIDVER (V10)
SSIDMODE (NFM)

SSID (MEM1)
SSIDVER (V10)
SSIDMODE (NFM)

SSID (MEM2)
SSIDVER (V10)
SSIDMODE (NFM)

SSID (MEM3)
SSIDVER (V11)
SSIDMODE (CM)

SSID (MEM4)
SSIDVER (V11)
SSIDMODE (CM)

 

Modify the ENVDEF member with the following specifications:

LP03.* (01)
LP04.* (01)
*.* (00)

 

Create a new PTISYS01 member with the following specifications:

DSNAME=00
SETUP=01
PLANS=00
ISPF=00
*=00 

Create a new SETUP01 member and copy the contents of SETUP00.
Specify the following for the SSID (GRP1) entry within the SETUP01 member.

SSIDVER (V11)
SSIDMODE (CM)
