Issue/Introduction

Is there any way to check if a Datacom MUF region is running Datacom/AD or Datacom/DB, and which is the release/version?

 

Environment

Resolution

There are several ways to check.

On MUF JOBLOG:

Version: check DB00215I message

DB00215I - CA Datacom/DB Version 15.0
DB00215I - CA Datacom/DB Version 15.1.01

AD or DB: check DB00201I or DB00905I

DB00201I - MULTI-USER ENABLED, CXX=cxxname  MUFNAME=mufname  AD
DB00201I - MULTI-USER ENABLED, CXX=cxxname  MUFNAME=mufname  DB

DB00905I - DIRECTORY (CXX) VERSION 14.0 LEVEL 1 AD SIMPLIFY YES SYSPLEX PLEX01 (only 14.0)
DB00905I - DIRECTORY (CXX) LEVEL 1 AD SIMPLIFY YES SYSPLEX PLEX01

Running a DBUTLTY with a "REPORT TYPE=MVS" SYSIN card

Check the REL and DC columns, for example:

MUF NAME  STATUS  REL  JOB NAME JOB ID   CXX NAME DC ENBL-MDHMS USER     COMMENTS
                                                                                 
AD151MU  ENABLED  15.1 AD151MU  STC76705 AD151MU  AD 0715230210 USER1    PC=P    
DB151MU  ENABLED  15.1 DB151MU  JOB29415 DB151MU  DB 0717124755 USER2    PC=P    
DB150MU  ENABLED  15.0 DB150MU  JOB21022 DB150MU  DB 0717093814 USER3    PC=?    
AD14MUF  ENABLED  14.0 AD14MUF  STC76704 AD14MUF  AD 0715230210 USER4    PC=? 

Running a DBUTLTY with a "REPORT AREA=CXX,TYPE=A" SYSIN card

The utility prints a report header that shows the version:

                    *                                CA Datacom/DB                                 *

Moreover, then the first row of the report title for Datacom/AD has the "DATACOM/AD" string at the very beginning:

Datacom/DB has blanks:
