Issue/Introduction

Sharing a single Detector and a single SSA control file 

I'm planning a migration of CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 Release 17 to Release 19. I'm planning to have two Xmanager tasks active (one R17 and one R19) to support a phased-in migration of 5 DB2 subsystems. My question is :

Can I share a single Detector and a single SSA control file between the two Xmanager tasks ? 

Environment

z/os DB2

Resolution

There should not be a problem sharing your R17 control files with R19.
